Solution

The correct option is C William Bentinck
William Bentinck served as a Governor-General of India from 1828 to 1835. He believed that a lack of unification was the key reason for dissatisfaction with imperial policies of his predecessors. Therefore, he adopted softer policies. This led to him being dubbed “the liberal Governor-General”.
