Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Siraj-ud-Daulah.
Siraj-ud-Daulah succeeded Alivardi Khan as the Nawab of Bengal. Siraj-ud-Daulah became the Nawab in 1756, following the death of his grandfather Alivardi Khan. His reign was marked by conflict with the British East India Company, leading to the historic Battle of Plassey in 1757. The defeat of Siraj-ud-Daulah in this battle significantly altered the political landscape of Bengal and marked the beginning of British dominance in India.
