Hint: The internationally accepted demarcation line between the Republic of India and Pakistan.
The ground was demarcated in 1947 by Sir Cyril Radcliffe as the Radcliffe Line. It was released as a border demarcation line between India and Pakistan upon the partition of India and came into force on 17 August, 1947.

Complete answer:
Lord Curzon- Curzon Line, the demarcation line between Poland and Soviet Russia that was proposed as a potential armistice line during the Russo-Polish War of 1919-20 and became the Soviet-Polish frontier after World War II (with a few modifications).
Lord Canning- From 1856 to 1862, Lord Canning served as India's Governor General. The Government of India Act, 1858, was passed during his term, which established the office of Viceroy to be held by the same person who was Governor General of India. Thus, Lord Canning also acted as India's first Viceroy.
Cyril Radcliffe- The border commission that formed the border between India and Pakistan was led by Sir Cyril Radcliffe. It was quite an arbitrary line, according to historian Ayesha Jalal,' which in some instances split villages into two'.
Stafford Cripps- Sir Richard Stafford Cripps was a politician, barrister, and diplomat for the British Labor Party. Before 1939, after he was excluded from the Labor Party, he became a leading spokesperson for the left-wing and for unity in the Popular Front with the Communists.

Hence, the correct answer is (Option C).

Note: It is considered a working border since an officially acknowledged territory is on one side, while a disputed territory is on the other.
LOC:- The border between Azad Kashmir and Jammu Kashmir is the line of control.
After the Simla Pact in 1971, it was demarcated.
