C) Indian territory was divided into two independent Muslim and Hindu countries.

Explanation:

The statement that describes a major failure in Mohandas Gandhi's plans for the Indian independence movement is "Indian territory was divided into two independent Muslim and Hindu countries."

We are talking about the moment in India's history called the "Partition of India." India was divided into two different nations in August 1947: Pakistan, under the Muslim religion of Islam, and India, under Hinduism. The majority of Muslims formed Pakistan, and most Hindus stayed in India. The British Crown rule in India ended with the Indian Independence Act of 1947.
