(b) मुस्लीमांसाठी स्वतंत्र मतदार संघ.
(c) केंद्रीय कायदे मंडळातील सदस्यसंख्या 16 वरुन 50 करण्यात आली.
(d) केंद्रीय व प्रांतीय कायदेमंडळाचे अधिकार कमी केलेत.

The correct answer is Option C ((c), (d)).

Key Points:
• Analysis of the Government of India Act 1919 (Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms):
• Statement (a) is TRUE: The Act introduced bicameralism at the Centre (Legislative Assembly and Council of State) and expanded the sizes of both Central and Provincial legislative bodies.
• Statement (b) is TRUE: Separate communal electorates, originally introduced for Muslims in 1909, were retained and further extended in 1919 to Sikhs, Anglo-Indians, Indian Christians, and Europeans.
• Statement (c) is INCORRECT: Increasing the Imperial Legislative Council members from 16 to 60 was a feature of the 1909 Morley-Minto Act (not the 1919 Act, which established a 145-member Assembly and a 60-member Council of State).
• Statement (d) is INCORRECT: The authority and powers of the legislatures were increased (e.g., dyarchy in provinces, voting on parts of the budget, asking supplementary questions) rather than decreased.
• Thus, statements (c) and (d) are incorrect.
• Key Takeaway: Under the 1919 Act, legislative powers and sizes were increased; statement (c) belongs to the 1909 Act and (d) is false.
