{'india act': [7, 1, 13, 15], 'bengal': [2, 0, 1, 2], 'regulating act': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'governor': [5, 1, 0, 6], 'charter act': [1, 0, 1, 1], 'general': [7, 3, 8, 4], 'acts': [1, 0, 7, 5]}

The correct answer is option 4, The Charter Act of 1833.

Option 1, The Regulating Act, was passed in 1773 and it did not make the Governor-General of Bengal the Governor-General of India. It did, however, establish the office of Governor-General and introduced certain regulations for the governance of British territories in India.

Option 2, The Pitt`s India Act, was passed in 1784 and it also did not make the Governor-General of Bengal the Governor-General of India. This act made several changes to the administration of British territories in India, including the appointment of a Board of Control to oversee the East India Company`s affairs.

Option 3, The Charter Act of 1793, did not make the Governor-General of Bengal the Governor-General of India either. This act extended the previous acts and made some amendments regarding the administration and governance of British territories in India.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4, The Charter Act of 1833. This act replaced the previous charters and made the Governor-General of Bengal the Governor-General of India, with expanded powers and jurisdiction over British territories in India.
