The correct answer is option 3, Warren Hastings. Warren Hastings served as the first Governor General of Bengal. He held this position from 1773 to 1785. Robert Clive, mentioned in option 1, was an important figure in the British East India Company but did not serve as the Governor General of Bengal. William Bentinck, mentioned in option 2, served as the Governor General of India from 1828 to 1835, but not specifically as the Governor General of Bengal. Col. Sanders, mentioned in option 4, is not relevant to this question as he is known for founding the fast food chain KFC and has no connection to the position of Governor General of Bengal.
