The Simon Commission was generally boycotted by the Indian political parties. What was the reason for this general non-cooperation ?

The Commission aimed at dividing the people

It was an ‘all white’ Commission

It came after the Jallianwala carnage

It was an eye wash

The Commission was strongly opposed by many Indians. It was opposed by Nehru, Gandhi, Jinnah, the Muslim League and Indian National Congress because it contained seven members of the British Parliament but no Indians. Indians saw it as a violation to their right of self determination and insult to their self respect and they called it ‘all white’ Commission. Hence option 2nd is correct.
