The correct answer is option 2 - Lord Mountbatten. Lord Mountbatten served as the first Governor-General of Independent India from 1947 to 1948. He was appointed to this position after India gained independence from British rule. Lord Mountbatten played a crucial role in facilitating India`s transition to independence and overseeing the partition of the country into India and Pakistan. However, it is important to note that the position of Governor-General was replaced by the President of India when the country adopted a republican constitution on January 26, 1950. Therefore, Lord Mountbatten`s tenure as Governor-General was temporary and limited to the early years of India`s independence.
