Solution

The correct option is C Lord Dalhousie
Lord Dalhousie served as the Governor General of India from 1848 to 1856. His eight year rules were full of improvement and reforms. He passed Widow Remarriage Act in 1855 which legalized the marriage of Hindu Widows. However this reform became one of the reasons to annoy the people of India.
