Solution

The correct option is B Lord Dalhousie
Before 1850, it was in practice that if any person became a convert, he was deprived of his ancestral property. This system checked the speed of conversions in India.But Dalhousie passed the Religious Disability Act in 1850 which enabled the Hindu convert to inherit his ancestral property.
