Explanation

The question asks which statement is INCORRECT. The Battle of Buxar was fought on October 22, 1764, NOT 1864. Option A correctly identifies the false statement. The battle did result in British takeover of Bengal administration (Option B is true), and Mir Kasim was indeed defeated (Option C is true). Therefore, Option A is the correct answer because it states an incorrect date.
