He became the Governor of a Province . . . . . . . .

little by little
by and large
in course of time
at times

The correct answer is C. in course of time.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • A. little by little means gradually.
  • B. by and large means generally or on the whole.
  • D. at times means occasionally or from time to time.

The sentence “He became the Governor of a Province in course of time” means that he became the Governor over a period of time, rather than suddenly or overnight.
