The correct option is C $19$ years
Lord Lytton was the viceroy of India between 1876 and 1880. The British bureaucracy in India was opposed to the entry of Indians into the civil services.Therefore, in order to discourage Indians from competing for the said examination, Lord Lytton lowered the maximum age of eligibility from 21 to 19 years.
