Explanation:

The Cabinet Mission Plan, proposed in 1946, aimed to discuss the transfer of power from the British government to Indian leadership. Its key recommendations included the formation of an Interim Government to manage the transition and the establishment of a Constituent Assembly to draft India's constitution. Crucially, the Cabinet Mission rejected the idea of partitioning India, advocating for a united India with a federal structure. Therefore, recommendations (ii) and (iii) are correct, while (i) is incorrect. This makes option (B) the accurate choice.
