Correct answers: 2 and 4.
Why: Indians had contributed massively to the Allied war effort and expected political reward (option 2). World War II also weakened Britain economically and militarily and boosted Indian political confidence and organization, so many Indians believed they could govern themselves successfully (option 4). Option 1 is a general truth but not specific to the post‑war increase, and option 3 is false — India did not decide to go to war against Britain as a condition for freedom.
