The correct option is B Lord William Bentinck
Lord William Bentinck was the Governor-General from 1828 to 1835 in India. He introduced many administrative, judicial, judicial, social reforms in India. One of them was abolition of Persian as the court language because it was not easy for the litigants to fight in this language. So Bentinck ordered the use of vernacular language in place of Persian.
