{'viceroy': [3, 0, 5, 2], 'delhi': [4, 0, 4, 1], 'british india': [2, 1, 6, 8], 'lord minto': [3, 0, 4, 2], 'lord hardinge': [3, 1, 8, 0], 'capital': [31, 3, 12, 18], 'lordwaveli': [2, 0, 0, 0]}

The correct answer is option 3, Lord Hardinge. During Lord Hardinge`s tenure as the viceroy of India, Delhi became the capital of British India. Lord Hardinge served as the viceroy from 1910 to 1916. Prior to Hardinge, Lord Minto was the viceroy of India from 1905 to 1910. However, Delhi did not become the capital during his time. Lord Curzon, mentioned in option 1, was the viceroy of India from 1899 to 1905 and he played a significant role in the partition of Bengal. Option 4, Lord Waveli, is not an accurate name. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3, Lord Hardinge.
