A Correct answer
Explanation

The East India Company first established itself in Bengal after getting the firman from Mughal Emperor in 1757, following the Battle of Plassey. While Madras (1639) and Bombay (1661) were earlier settlements, Bengal became the company's first major stronghold and administrative center. Delhi and Karachi were never East India Company establishments (Karachi is now in Pakistan).
