Answer: (B) 1858
The title of "Governor General" was changed to "Viceroy" in 1858. The title was first used in the queen's proclamation appointing Viscount Canning in 1858. The title was created after the Revolt of 1857. The Government of India Act of 1858 was passed to end the rule of the East India Company and transfer it to the British crown. The act also ended the system of dual government by abolishing the Board of Control and the Board of Directors.
