The correct answer is option 3: Lord Dufferin. The Indian National Congress was formed during the Governor-Generalship of Lord Dufferin. The Indian National Congress, also known as the Congress Party, was established in 1885. It was formed with the aim of representing the political interests of Indians under British rule. The first session of the Congress was held in Bombay (now Mumbai) and was attended by 72 delegates. The Congress played a crucial role in India`s struggle for independence and became the dominant political party in the country after independence. Lord Dufferin served as the Viceroy of India from 1884 to 1888. He supported the formation of the Indian National Congress as a way to provide a platform for Indians to voice their concerns and grievances.
