Ans: (d) after the visit of the Cabinet Mission
Explanation: The correct answer is (d) after the visit of the Cabinet Mission.
The interim government at the center in India was formed after the visit of the Cabinet Mission. The Cabinet Mission, sent by the British government in 1946, aimed to propose a plan for the transfer of power and the framing of a new constitution in India.
Following the discussions and negotiations with Indian political leaders, the Cabinet Mission proposed a plan known as the Cabinet Mission Plan. This plan recommended the formation of an interim government at the center, comprising members from both the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League, to work towards the framing of a new constitution.
Based on the recommendations of the Cabinet Mission, the interim government was formed in September 1946. The interim government played a crucial role in preparing the ground for the eventual transfer of power and the establishment of an independent India.
