The correct answer is option 3, Lord Canning. Lord Canning was the Governor-General of India from 1856 to 1862. During his tenure, the Indian Universities Act of 1857 was passed, which laid the foundation for the establishment of universities in India. This act enabled the creation of three universities - the University of Calcutta in 1857, the University of Bombay in 1857, and the University of Madras in 1857. These universities aimed to provide higher education and promote learning in various disciplines. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Indian universities were first founded during the time of Lord Canning`s governance.
