(c) Liberal
(d) None of these
Ans: (a) Labour
Explanation: The party in power in the U.K. when India became independent was (a) Labour.
The Labour Party was in power in the United Kingdom at the time of India’s independence in 1947. The Labour Party, led by Prime Minister Clement Attlee, came to power in the U.K. after the general elections held in July 1945.
The Labour government under Attlee played a crucial role in granting independence to India and overseeing the process of decolonization. The Indian Independence Act of 1947, which facilitated the partition of India and the creation of independent India and Pakistan, was passed during the tenure of the Labour government.
Therefore, option (a) Labour is the correct answer.
