Explanation

The Congress Working Committee and AICC did NOT pass a resolution against the Mountbatten Plan - in fact, they accepted it. The Mountbatten Plan did seek early transfer of power based on Dominion Status to India and Pakistan, making the Reason partially correct in describing the plan's objectives. Since the Assertion is false but the Reason has elements of truth, option D is correct.
