Explanation

The Government of India Act 1935 introduced provincial autonomy, granting provinces significant powers and responsible government. This marked a major shift from earlier centralized control. The 1919 Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms introduced dyarchy (shared rule), not full autonomy, while the 1909 Minto-Morley Reforms primarily dealt with separate electorates.
