Explanation

Lord William Bentinck (1828-1835) was a reformer Viceroy who abolished Sati (1829), suppressed Thugi, and introduced English education. Rabindranath Tagore and Ashutosh Mukherjee were Indian reformers, not British Viceroys. MK Gandhi was never a Viceroy. The question phrasing 'reformer of British Viceroys' is awkward - Bentinck was a reforming Viceroy.
