Option 4 : Gwalior

The correct answer is Gwalior.

• 'Simon Commission' was not visited Rangoon.
• Sir John Simon and other members visited India twice from February to March 31, 1928, and from October 11, 1928, to April 13, 1929.
• The Simon Commission, during the first visit, engaged itself in examining the relevant data that the government was able to provide to them.
• On its second visit, the Simon Commission visited different parts of the country and held its sessions at Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Poona, Patna, Calcutta, Shillong, and Rangoon, Nagpur and Madras.
• Finally, they came to Delhi.

• The Simon Commission was a group of 7 MPs from Britain who were sent to India in 1928 to study constitutional reforms and make recommendations to the government. 
• The Commission was originally named the Indian Statutory Commission. 
• When the Commission landed in February 1928, there were mass protests, hartals, and black flag demonstrations all over the country. And thus came the slogan ‘Simon Go Back.’
