Solution

The correct option is C 1829
Sati pratha was made illegal in 1829 by Bengal Sati Regulation of 1829 under Governor Generalship of William Bentinck. Sati is a practice of burying alive the widows of Hindus. It was mainly due to fierce campaign and lobbying of Raja Rammohan Roy and others that sati practice was formally banned.
