Which Viceroy's period was called one of 'missions, omissions and commissions'?

Correct answer: (b) Curzon

Explanation

G. K. Gokhale described Lord Curzon's rule (1899–1905) as a period of "missions, omissions and commissions":

• missions: the Younghusband mission to Tibet (1903–1904);
• omissions: the neglect of Indian opinion, which ended in the Partition of Bengal (1905);
• commissions: many inquiries, such as the Irrigation Commission (1901), the Universities Commission (1902) and the Police Commission (1902).

Curzon also passed the Indian Universities Act (1904) and the Ancient Monuments Preservation Act (1904).
