The Father of the Indian Survey is William Lambton.

Option 1, George Femchico, is not the correct answer.

Option 3, PauiBrenar, is not the correct answer.

Option 4, Condoleeza Rice, is definitely not the correct answer as she is an American politician and diplomat, not related to the Indian survey in any way.

William Lambton is recognized as the Father of the Indian Survey because of his significant contributions to the mapping and surveying of India. Lambton played a crucial role in establishing the Great Trigonometric Survey of India, which aimed to accurately map the entire Indian subcontinent. His work laid the foundation for the modern surveying practices in India. The survey conducted under Lambton`s leadership paved the way for future mapping projects and became a reliable reference for various industries and government agencies. Overall, Lambton`s dedication and expertise in surveying earned him the title of the Father of the Indian Survey.
