{'jawaharlal nehru': [11, 2, 14, 10], 'viceroy wavell': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'private letter': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'british parliament': [1, 0, 1, 1], 'lord mountbatten': [0, 1, 1, 0], 'secretary': [2, 1, 6, 8], 'letter': [1, 0, 4, 6], 'clement attlee': [3, 0, 0, 1], 'congressmen': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'active opposition': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'address': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'ernest bevin': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 2, Clement Attlee. He made the statement in a private letter addressed to Ernest Bevin in January 1947.

Option 1, Jawaharlal Nehru, did make similar statements about British administration and opposition from the politically minded population, but there is no record of him specifically making this statement or addressing it to Congressmen at Lucknow in April 1947.

Option 3, Lord Mountbatten, did make various statements about the political situation in India, but there is no specific record of him making this statement in December 1946 in a note given to the British Parliament.

Option 4, Viceroy Wavell, did correspond with the Secretary of State about the challenges of British administration in India, but there is no specific record of him making this statement in a letter to the Secretary of State in January 1946.

Therefore, option 2, Clement Attlee, is the correct answer based on the given information.
