Correct answer: (C) Lord Curzon
Explanation

Lord Curzon framed a new agricultural policy and set up the central research institute at Pusa.

Lord Ripon is remembered for local self-government and the Hunter Commission, not Pusa.

Lord Lansdowne's tenure is not linked to the Pusa institute.

Lord Linlithgow chaired a famed royal commission on agriculture but did not create Pusa.

It later moved to Delhi as the Indian Agricultural Research Institute after a 1934 earthquake.
