Q1. During the tenure of which Governor-General of India was the Hindu Widow Remarriage Act passed?

A Lord Amherst

B Lord Ellenborough

C Lord Canning Correct

D Lord Mayo

Explanation

The Hindu Widow Remarriage Act was passed in 1856, during Lord Canning's tenure as Governor-General of India. The law is associated with reformist pressure, especially the efforts of Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, and it legally permitted Hindu widows to remarry. Lord Amherst governed much earlier, in the 1820s, so his tenure does not fit. Lord Ellenborough served in the early 1840s, before the Act. Lord Mayo came later, from 1869 to 1872, after the Act had already been passed.
