Who among the following Governor Generals enacted the law against the Sati practice in December 1829?

Lord William Bentinck

The correct answer is Option 2 - Lord William Bentinck

Lord William Bentinck enacted the law against the Sati practice in December 1829.

The Bengal Sati Regulation, 1829, also known as Regulation XVII of 1829, was a regulation passed by the British East India Company on 4 December 1829, abolishing the practice of sati in British India. The regulation was passed by Lord William Bentinck, the Governor-General of India at the time.

Sati was a practice in which a Hindu widow would immolate herself on her husband's funeral pyre. It was a widespread practice in India at the time, and it was often seen as a way for a widow to prove her devotion to her husband.

Lord Bentinck was a strong opponent of sati, and he believed that it was a barbaric practice that had no place in Indian society. He passed the Bengal Sati Regulation in order to ban the practice once and for all.
