The correct answer is option 3) Lord Wavell.

To understand why Lord Wavell is the correct answer, we need to have some background knowledge. The interim government in India was formed during the Indian independence movement, when the country was under British colonial rule. The British government decided to grant independence to India and appointed Lord Mountbatten as the last Viceroy of India.

However, before Lord Mountbatten arrived in India, the interim government was formed under the leadership of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. This happened during the viceroyalty of Lord Wavell. Lord Wavell served as the Viceroy of India from 1943 to 1947.

It is important to note that Lord Wavell`s viceroyalty was a significant time in India`s struggle for independence. He played a crucial role in facilitating negotiations between the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League, which eventually led to the formation of the interim government and the subsequent independence of India.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3) Lord Wavell.
