Hint: Provincial government was the government that was introduced before the independence of India. It was introduced for the provinces that were under British India. There was another part of this government that was led by the governor and the ministers that were appointed by him. These ministers were Indians.

Complete Step by Step answer: Dyarchy was a system of double government that was introduced by the British Government under the Government of India Act in the year 1919 for the provinces that were under the rule of the British. Under this act, there were 2 spheres of the government, the central and the provincial. Under this government, the central matters were under the Indians and the provincial ones were under the control of British India.
Option A. 1919 was the year when the provincial government of India was given more powers under the system of Dyarchy.
Option B. 1935 was the year when provincial dyarchy was abolished and was ensured only at the centre.
Option C. 1895 was not the year when the provincial government was given more powers under the system of Dyarchy. This was the year when the Government Grants Act was passed.
Option D. 1909 was the year when the Morley-Minto reforms were introduced by the British.
The correct answer to this question is option A - 1919.

 Note: Dyarchy was a constitutional reform that was actually introduced by the Britishers. It was first introduced by Edwin Samuel Montagu and Lord Chelmsford, who was the viceroy of India, during the British rule.
