Answer: (C) The Cripps Mission

Gandhi made his famous remark 'a post-dated cheque on a crashing bank' to describe the Cripps Mission's proposal in March 1942, which offered Dominion status to India after the war. Gandhi rejected it because it offered only future, uncertain independence rather than immediate action, and did not guarantee full independence.
