B Correct answer
Explanation

Lord Lytton (not Linlithgow) passed the Vernacular Press Act in 1878 to suppress Indian-language newspapers. This mismatch makes option B incorrect. Lord Linlithgow was Viceroy much later (1936-1943) during World War II. The Vernacular Press Act was a controversial measure that targeted vernacular media critical of British policies.
