D Correct answer
Explanation

Lord Mayo (Lord Mayo in the options) was assassinated in 1872 at Port Blair by Sher Ali, a convicted prisoner. Sher Ali stabbed him while he was visiting the Andaman Islands. The name 'Lord Miyo' appears to be a typo for Lord Mayo.

AI explanation

Lord Mayo (rendered 'Lord Miyo' in the options, likely a transliteration/typo) was the Viceroy and Governor-General of India who was assassinated in 1872 by Sher Ali Afridi, a Pashtun convict, while Mayo was inspecting the Cellular Jail in the Andaman Islands. This remains the only instance of a sitting Viceroy being killed while in India. The other pairings are incorrect: Lord Dalhousie and Lord Canning were not assassinated, and Lord Warren Hastings long predates and is unconnected to Sher Ali's attack.
