The correct answer to the question is Option 3: Lord Macaulay. The Charter Act of 1833 introduced various reforms in the administration of India including the establishment of a Law Commission. This commission was tasked with the responsibility of consolidating, codifying, and improving the Indian laws. Lord Macaulay was appointed as the Chairman of this commission. He played a significant role in formulating the Indian Penal Code and the Indian Civil Code, which were later enacted. Lord Macaulay`s vision and efforts in legal reforms had a lasting impact on the Indian legal system. Thus, option 3 is the correct answer.

Alert - correct answer should be Option 1: Lord Bentinck. The Law Commission established under the Charter Act of 1833 was actually chaired by Lord Bentinck, not Lord Macaulay. Lord Macaulay did play a significant role in legal reforms in India, but he was not the Chairman of the Law Commission during this period.
