During whose tenure as the Viceroy of India were the great martyrs Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru hanged?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The great martyrs Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, and Rajguru were executed on March 23, 1931, in connection with the Lahore Conspiracy Case [2][t2]. This event occurred during the tenure of Lord Irwin, who served as the Viceroy of India from 1926 to 1931 [t1][t4]. The executions took place just six days before the Karachi session of the Indian National Congress, which was convened to endorse the Gandhi-Irwin Pact [c3]. Lord Irwin's administration was marked by significant nationalist activities, including the Simon Commission's visit, the Dandi March, and the Civil Disobedience Movement [t4][t7]. While other Viceroys like Lord Curzon (1899–1905), Lord Minto (1905–1910), and Lord Chelmsford (1916–1921) oversaw different phases of the colonial administration, it was specifically under Irwin's term that the revolutionary trio was hanged [c2][c5][t4].
