Explanation
The ethnographic Survey of India project of the 1860s is associated with Hunter (W. W. Hunter, who oversaw the statistical and ethnographic surveys as part of the imperial gazetteer enterprise). Dufferin was a Viceroy, Risley and Thurston belong to later anthropological work. Hence Hunter is the keyed answer.
