Correct Option: C. 03/02/01

Strategy: Recall the years for each event and place them in chronological order: Second Round Table Conference (1931), Quit India Movement (1942), and Mutiny in Royal Indian Navy (1946).

Key Info: - **Second Round Table Conference (1931):** Held in London from September to December 1931; Mahatma Gandhi attended as the sole representative of the Indian National Congress to negotiate constitutional reforms with the British government.
- **Quit India Movement (1942):** Launched on 8 August 1942 in Bombay, marked by the call for 'Do or Die' by Mahatma Gandhi; resulted in nationwide protests and arrests but no immediate constitutional reforms.
- **Mutiny in Royal Indian Navy (RIN) (1946):** Also known as the RIN Revolt, began on 18 February 1946 in Bombay as a protest against poor conditions and discriminatory practices; quickly spread to several cities and symbolized armed forces' discontent in the run-up to independence.

These events were critical stages in the twilight years of British rule, each escalating the pressure for Indian independence in different ways.
