Explanation:

The Quit India Movement, initiated in August 1942, was a direct consequence of the failure of the Cripps Mission. The Cripps Proposals, which offered dominion status after World War II but not immediate independence, were rejected by the Indian National Congress, leading to widespread discontent. Options A (Cabinet Mission) and D (Wavell Plan) occurred after the movement. Option C (Simon Commission Report) was much earlier, in 1930.
