Which Governor-General of British India helped Raja Ram Mohan Roy legally abolish the sati practice?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

- Raja Ram Mohan Roy led a sustained social and reform campaign against the practice of sati in early 19th-century India.
- The legal abolition of sati was enacted by the Governor-General Lord William Bentinck, who passed Regulation XVII in December 1829 prohibiting the practice in Bengal and territories under the East India Company.
- Other listed Governor-Generals are from different periods: Lord Cornwallis (late 18th century), Lord Ripon (late 19th century), and Lord Curzon (turn of 20th century), so they were not responsible for the 1829 regulation.

Therefore the correct answer is Lord William Bentinck.
