Who was the AGG of Rajputana at the time of Revolt of 1857?

Correct option is A

During the Revolt of 1857, Colonel George St. Patrick Lawrence served as the Agent to the Governor-General (AGG) of
Rajputana. He was appointed on March 15, 1857, just before the rebellion began. His role was crucial in maintaining
British authority in Rajputana, handling native uprisings, and securing alliances with princely states to suppress the
revolt. Despite facing significant challenges, he successfully managed the British response to the revolt in the region.
