Explanation:

statements 2 about the Simon Commission are correct. The Simon Commission, formally known as the Indian Statutory Commission, was appointed in 1927, not 1928, by the then British Conservative Government under Stanley Baldwin to report on the condition of India under its new Constitution. It was indeed tasked to enquire into the working of the system of government, the growth of education, and the development of representative institutions in British India. The commission's lack of Indian representation led to widespread protest in India, and it was met with a boycott by Indian political parties.
