A Correct answer
Explanation

Sir Archibald Nye was the British Governor who continued in that position even after India became independent in 1947, serving from 1946 to 1948 before handing over to C. Rajagopalachari. This was an unusual case where the British representative continued briefly. The other options (Knight, Bentinck, Hastings) were from much earlier colonial periods.
