The correct answer is option 4, Allahabad. On November 1st, 1858, the Royal Durbar was held in Allahabad to issue the Queen`s proclamation. The Royal Durbar was a ceremonial gathering where important announcements were made by the ruling monarch or their representatives. In this case, the Queen`s proclamation was a significant event that marked the transfer of power from the East India Company to the British Crown. It declared that the governance of India would now be directly under the British government. While options 1 (Lucknow), 2 (Kanpur), and 3 (Delhi) were important cities during the period of British rule in India, they were not the locations where the Royal Durbar took place on that specific date.
