Solution

The correct option is A Henry Elliot
Foreign secretary Henry Elliot gave shape to the predetermined policy of annexation after the Second Anglo-Sikh War. He forced the Council of Regency to sign the Treaty. Maharaja Dalip Singh was dethroned, and Punjab was captured by the British. A pension between four to five lacs was fixed for Maharaja Dalip Singh. Henry Elliot read the declaration of Lord Dalhousie at the Lahore Darbar. Through this declaration, the British officially announced the annexation of Punjab.
