Answer:

Option A: To cooperate the British Govt. after getting the assurance of complete independence

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “To cooperate the British Govt. after getting the assurance of complete independence”.

The Congress was prepared to support the British war effort only if they provided a clear commitment to grant India complete independence after the war. The British government's refusal to meet this demand led to the launch of the Quit India Movement.
