The correct answer is option 2, Lord Warren Hastings. A Governor-General is the highest-ranking official in a British colony or territory, and the first Governor-General of Bengal was Lord Warren Hastings. Lord Clive, option 1, was a British officer who played a significant role in establishing British control in India but did not serve as the Governor-General of Bengal. Lord John Shore, option 3, and Lord Cornwallis, option 4, both served as Governor-General of Bengal at later periods, but they were not the first. Therefore, the correct answer is Lord Warren Hastings.
