Under the Cabinet Mission Plan (May 1946), seats allotted to British-Indian provinces in the Constituent Assembly were filled by indirect elections conducted in the respective Provincial Legislative Assemblies using proportional representation with the single transferable vote. They were neither directly elected by the public nor nominated by parties or the government. Hence option (c) is correct.
