Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Mir Jafar pretended loyalty to Alivardi Khan's successor Siraj Ud Daulah, but betrayed him to the British in the battle of Plassey. After Siraj Ud Daulah’s defeat and subsequent execution, Jafar achieved his long-pursued dream of gaining the throne, and was propped up by the British East India company as puppet Nawab.  Hence, Option A is correct.
Among the rest of the options, Mir Qasim was the Nawab of Bengal from 1760 to 1763. He was installed as Nawab with the support of the British East India Company, replacing Mir Jafar. Robert Clive was the first British Governor of the Bengal Presidency, and Murshid Quli Khan, also known as Mohammad Hadi and born as Surya Narayan Mishra ( c. 1660 – 30 June 1727), was the first Nawab of Bengal, serving from 1717 to 1727. Hence, these options are incorrect.

It was a decisive victory of the British East India Company over the Nawab of Bengal and his French allies on 23 June 1757.  The British after the victory acquired significant concessions for previous losses and revenue from trade which was later used for the expansion of the British empire. The battle bought a major change to the company's trade structure as it opened gates for personal fortunes.
