Let's match each Viceroy of India from List I with the events they are known for from List II:

1. Lord Canning: He was the Viceroy of India during the Revolt of 1857. This was a significant event during his tenure, and he is best known for his role during this period. Hence, Lord Canning is associated with the event (III) Revolt of 1857.
2. Lord Lytton: He is known for the introduction of the Vernacular Press Act in 1878. This act aimed to curtail the freedom of the Indian-language press. Therefore, Lord Lytton is linked with (I) The Vernacular Press Act.
3. Lord Ripon: He is often called the founding father of local self-governance in India due to his efforts to introduce self-governing institutions in towns and cities. Therefore, he is associated with (IV) The founding father of local self governance in India.
4. Lord Curzon: He was known for his educational reforms and passed the Indian Universities Act of 1904, which aimed to regulate and improve the Indian education system. Hence, Lord Curzon corresponds to (II) The Indian Universities Act.

Based on the above analysis, the correct match is:

• (A) Lord Canning - (III) Revolt of 1857
• (B) Lord Lytton - (I) The Vernacular Press Act
• (C) Lord Ripon - (IV) The founding father of local self governance in India
