The correct answer is

Winston Churchill

The Cripps Mission came to India in March 1942, during the Second World War, when Japanese advances in South-East Asia made Indian cooperation in the war effort urgent for Britain.

It was sent by the wartime coalition government of Prime Minister Winston Churchill and was led by Sir Stafford Cripps; it offered dominion status after the war and a constituent body, proposals that Gandhi called a post-dated cheque and that the Congress rejected.

Clement Attlee became Prime Minister only in 1945 and later sent the Cabinet Mission of 1946; Stanley Baldwin and Neville Chamberlain had both left office before 1942.

Winston Churchill option is correct.
