The correct answer is [B] Warren Hastings
Lord William Bentick was the first British Governor-General of India. He was appointed in 1833 by the Charter Act, with Warren Hastings having previously been the first Governor-General of Bengal in 1773.
Lord Cornwallis laid the groundwork for British rule throughout India and various reforms in the court, revenue, and services persisted under his rule.
