Explanation:

Correct. The Indian Councils Act 1909, also known as the Morley-Minto Reforms, introduced a system of communal representation for Muslims by allowing them to elect their own representatives to the Imperial Legislative Council and provincial councils.

Correct. The Act allowed members of the legislative council to ask supplementary questions, but they were not permitted to move resolutions on the budget. This was a step towards legislative deliberation, although it was still quite limited in scope.

Correct. The Act provided for separate representation of chambers of commerce and zamindars (landlords). This was part of the British strategy to create a political alliance with certain groups and classes in Indian society.

Therefore, all three statements are correct.
