Solution
The correct option is B Sir John Marshall
Sir John Marshall was the second Director-General of the Archaeological Survey of India. During his tenure, the Harappan Civilisation was discovered. This became a milestone in Indian history, as this discovery proved that India had a rich and ancient past by tracing our history back to the third millennium BCE. William Wilson Hunter was a Scottish historian who wrote two volumes of an almost impartial account of Indian history. Mountstuart Elphinstone was the Governor of Bombay who wrote ‘The History of India’.
