Solution : The correct option is Warren Hastings .

The first Governor-General in India was Warren Hastings. Hastings abolished the dual system that had been established by Robert Clive. In the Dual System, the company had Diwani rights (rights to collect revenue), and the Nizam or Indian chiefs had administrative authority. He served in India from 1772 to 1785 and was impeached on his return to Britain due to corruption.
