Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Vice-President of the Executive Council

In the Interim Government formed in 1946, Jawaharlal Nehru served as Vice-President of the Viceroy's Executive Council and effectively led the government. The Viceroy remained its formal head under the colonial arrangement. Nehru was therefore not the Viceroy, a Company official or a military commander. Option A correctly describes his constitutional-political role.
