The most accurate response regarding how Indian contributions to World War II affected India is:

Indians desired independence from Britain but differed on how to get it.

During and after World War II, the contribution of Indian soldiers and resources to the British war effort heightened political awareness among Indians and fueled the desire for independence from British rule. While many Indians served in the British armed forces, their participation often intensified calls for self-determination, leading to a diversification of strategies among Indian leaders regarding how to achieve independence—ranging from negotiations with Britain to more radical approaches. This period also set the stage for the larger Indian independence movement that culminated in 1947.
