Solution

The correct option is C Lord Lytton
Newspapers written in native languages had an advantage in spreading news and awareness against the British right under their noses due to the language barrier. It was observed by Lord Lytton that these newspapers actively spoke against the British government. Thus, the Vernacular Press Act was passed to silence voices criticising British policies.
