A. Lord Lytton
B. Lord Curzon
C. Lord Minto
D. Lord Ripon

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:

Historically, the first Famine Commission was appointed in 1880 under Lord Ripon. I'll clarify: The Famine Commission was appointed in 1880 by Lord Ripon and led by Richard Strachey. So Lord Ripon. I'll adjust to ensure accuracy.
