The correct answer is (d) 1829.
Sati, also known as suttee, was the practice of a widow burning herself on her husband’s funeral pyre. It was a custom that was practiced in India for centuries, and it was seen as a way for a widow to show her devotion to her husband and to ensure her own salvation.
In 1829, the Governor General of India, Lord William Bentinck, passed a law that prohibited the practice of sati. This law was met with resistance from some Hindus, but it was ultimately successful in ending the practice of sati.
The law was passed in response to a number of factors, including the growing influence of Christianity in India, the increasing number of British officials who were opposed to sati, and the growing awareness of the cruelty of the practice.
The law was a major step forward in the fight against human rights abuses in India, and it helped to improve the lives of millions of women.
The other options are incorrect because they are not the year in which Lord William Bentinck prohibited the practice of sati.
