{'viceroy': [3, 0, 5, 2], 'indian national congress': [18, 3, 15, 15], 'lord minto': [3, 0, 4, 2], 'lord dufferin': [3, 1, 3, 2], 'lordlytton': [5, 0, 0, 0], 'lord canning': [16, 0, 5, 2], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

The correct answer is option 3, Lord Dufferin. The Indian National Congress was formed in 1885 with the aim of representing the interests of the Indian people and addressing their grievances. Lord Dufferin served as the Viceroy of India from 1884 to 1888, which means he was in office at the time of the formation of the Indian National Congress. Lord Minto (option 1) served as the Viceroy of India from 1905 to 1910, Lord Canning (option 2) served as the Viceroy of India during the 1857 rebellion, and Lord Lytton (option 4) served as the Viceroy of India from 1876 to 1880. It is important to note that the Viceroy of India was the representative of the British monarch and was responsible for governing British India.
