Verified Answer
A. Farmers
B. Labour class
C. Women
D. Depressed classes

Explanation:

The Poona Pact, signed on September 24, 1932, between Mahatma Gandhi and B.R. Ambedkar, was a landmark agreement concerning the political representation of the Depressed Classes (later known as Scheduled Castes). It replaced the separate electorates proposed by the Communal Award with reserved seats for the Depressed Classes within the general electorate in the British Indian legislature, aiming to ensure their representation while maintaining a unified Hindu electorate. The pact did not primarily address issues related to farmers, the labour class, or women.
