Answer 1

Hint:We know that British captured India and ruled over a hundred years. Europeans used their colonial strategy to capture a nation. They colonised India through the East Indian Company. After the Great Revolt, the ruling power was transferred to British crown. They built several administrative structures in India to be effective.

Complete answer:
Let us discuss the governor general of India. During the company rule in India, this post was established. He had both legislative and executive powers during the company rule. It was replaced as viceroy after the shiftment of ruling power to British crown. The executive and legislative assemblies were separated. All the Governors of the presidency and princely states were controlled by the Governor General of India.
Let us discuss the Executive council. It was the cabinet of British India headed by Viceroy of India. It consists of five members mainly responsible for revenue, military, law, finance and home.
We know that the Supreme Court of Calcutta was the first Supreme Court in British India built by the British Crown. It was established by the regulating act of 1773 . They built three supreme courts in the presendies.
We will discuss the legislative council. It was succeeded by the Executive council of India. It consists of the council of states and legislative assembly. The Governor – General has no influence on the legislative council of the British India.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

Note:Indian Patronist protested and struggled against the British and got Independence. Lord Mount Patten was the last viceroy or Governor General of British India. After Independence, the British administrative structures were replaced by Indian systems.
