The correct answer is

Lord Mountbatten

The Cabinet Mission was sent by the Attlee government and reached India in March 1946 to plan the transfer of power.

Its three members were Lord Pethick-Lawrence (Secretary of State for India, leader), Sir Stafford Cripps (President of the Board of Trade) and A.V. Alexander (First Lord of the Admiralty).

Lord Mountbatten was not part of it; he came to India in March 1947 as the last Viceroy and later announced the partition plan of 3 June 1947.

Hence, Lord Mountbatten.
