D) 1, 2 and 3
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
The Poona Pact, an agreement between Ambedkar and Gandhi in 1932, was too generous to the depressed classes. It asked for 148 seats to be allotted to them in the provincial legislature. A certain percentage of the seats earlier reserved for the Muslims was also to be reserved for the depressed classes. The Congress agreed to adequately represent these classes in the civil services as well.
