The correct answer to this question is option 3, Warren Hastings. Let`s break down the options to understand why this is the correct choice.

Option 1, Robert Clive, was a British officer and administrator who played a major role in establishing British rule in India. However, he was not the first Governor General of the East India Company in India.

Option 2, Sir John Shore, served as the Governor General of Bengal from 1793 to 1798, but he was not the first Governor General of the East India Company in India.

Option 4, Marquis of Hastings, refers to Francis Rawdon-Hastings who served as the Governor General of India from 1813 to 1823, but he was not the first Governor General of the East India Company in India.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3, Warren Hastings. Warren Hastings served as the first Governor General of the East India Company in India from 1774 to 1785.
