Solution

The correct option is D Lord Dalhousie
The British initially were supposed to take off their shoes while entering the darbars of the Indian kings. But this practice changed during the reign of Governor-General Amhurst - Indians were forced to remove their shoes while meeting him or any British officers.

Similarly, Lord Dalhousie also made Indians remove their shoes while entering government offices.
