The correct answer is option 4 - Clement Atlee. At the time when India gained independence in 1947, Clement Atlee was serving as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He held the position from 1945 to 1951. Atlee played a significant role in the granting of independence to India by overseeing the passing of the Indian Independence Act of 1947. This act led to the partition of India and the establishment of two separate countries - India and Pakistan. William Bentinck and Warren Hastings were colonial administrators who served in India during the British rule, but they were not prime ministers of England. Margaret Thatcher served as the prime minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990, which was several decades after India`s independence.
