Hint:
> In the era of freedom struggle many people faced so many issues. Gandhi played a vital role.
> Britishers tortured Indians by imposing various new laws whereas all the INC leaders helped poor Indians.
> All the Indian National Congress leaders helped the poor people by providing them with the right direction.

Complete answer:
A mission led by Stafford Cripps was sent to India in March 1942 with constitutional proposals to pursue Indian war support. The Mission proclaimed that India as a whole was to be a Dominion and its constitution was to be framed by an elected body to be approved by the British Government after the war. Gandhi said that after the war, Cripps’ offer of Dominion Status was a “post-dated cheque drawn on a bank that failed.”Gandhiji was against this because he knew that English people were using Indians. There were high chances that many Indians would be affected by the Cripps mission.

Option A is not the correct option because Nehru Ji did not disregard the offer.

Option B is wrong because Jinnah has nothing to do with Cripps offer

Option C is the correct option as Gandhiji was the one who helped Indians. He was against Cripps mission.

Option D is incorrect because Netaji was not the one who said against the Cripps offer.

Therefore, the correct answer is C

Note:
> India got its freedom in 1947. Many people had sacrificed their lives for the freedom struggle.
> East India company was the company that came to India with the intention of ruling India.
> India’s first prime minister gave a speech on 15th of August 1947.
