Explanation:

In the Viceroy executive council, there used to be two members representing the military departmentCommander in chief who was the executive head of the army in India. The second was the military member who advised Governor-General on military matters. Lord Kitchener who came to India in 1902 objected to such dual control on the military. He wanted to abolish the office of the military member who advised the Governor General on military matters. But Lord Curzon strongly opposed the idea. Hence option (b) is correct.
