    A Only conclusion I is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion II is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both I and II are true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither I nor II is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The statement mentions that India gained independence from British colonial rule and became a democratic nation in 1947. However, it does not provide any information about India's GDP, making conclusion I invalid. Additionally, the statement does not specify how long British rule lasted in India, so conclusion II is also not supported. Both conclusions are beyond the scope of the given statement.   Hence, the correct answer is (D).
