Solution

The correct option is C Edward Lutyens and Herbert Baker
New Delhi was constructed as a 10-square-mile city on Raisina Hill, south of the existing city. Two architects, Edward Lutyens and Herbert Baker, were called on to design New Delhi and its buildings. The features of these government buildings were borrowed from different periods of India’s imperial history, but the overall look was Classical Greece.
