Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B(लॉर्ड कैनिंग)
पंडित ईश्वरचंद्र विद्यासागर के अथक प्रयासों से 'हिंदू विधवा पुनर्विवाह अधिनियम, 1856' (Act XV of 1856) को लॉर्ड डलहौजी के समय प्रारूपित किया गया था, परंतु यह 25 जुलाई, 1856 को लॉर्ड कैनिंग (1856-1862 ई.) के कार्यकाल में पारित एवं क्रियान्वित हुआ।
Through the sustained advocacy of Pandit Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, the Hindu Widows' Remarriage Act (Act XV of 1856) was drafted under Dalhousie but formally enacted and implemented on 25 July 1856 during the tenure of Lord Canning (1856–1862 CE).
