Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
After the 1857 war, the British Parliament directly transferred power from the East India Company to the Crown. Hence, Queen Victoria became Empress of India, and Lord Canning (who was the Governor-General in the 1857 War) became the first Viceroy of India. The last Viceroy of India was Lord Louis Mountbatten.
