Sir William Wedderburn and W. S. Caine, both Liberal MPs sympathetic to Indian interests, created the Indian Parliamentary Committee in 1893 to press for political and administrative reforms for India within the House of Commons. It was not about judicial posts, independence, or sending Indians to Westminster, so option (a) is correct.
