Solution

The correct option is C Indian Council Act of 1861

The Indian Council Act of 1861 empowered the Governor-General to delegate the special task to individual members of the Executive council and hence all members have their own portfolio and dealt with their own initiative with all but the most important matters. This was the first beginning of Portfolio system in India.
