Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Siraj-Ud-Daulah.

The Battle of Plassey was fought in 1757 between the British East India Company, led by Robert Clive, and the Nawab of Bengal, Siraj-ud-Daulah. This historic battle took place near the village of Plassey on the banks of the Bhagirathi River in Bengal. It marked a significant turning point in Indian history, as it laid the foundation for British rule in India. The East India Company’s victory was made easier by the betrayal of some of Siraj-ud-Daulah’s key commanders, most notably Mir Jafar. As a result, the Company gained control over Bengal and expanded its political influence in India.
