Solution

The correct option is A Lord Hastings
Lord Hastings came to India, as Governor General, for the second time, in 1813 and expanded the aggressive and imperialist polices of Lord Wellesley and paved the way for the expansion of the British Empire. He took three important actions which established the paramountcy of British Colonialism in India. These are the Anglo-Nepalese War (1814-1816), suppression of the Pindarics and end of the Maratha Confederacy.
