Show Answer
Correct Answer: A [Robert Clive]
Notes:
Robert Clive introduced the Dual system of Government (1765-1772) in Bengal. Under this system, the company controlled the foreign policy, army, treasures, etc. But, collection of revenues and administration of justice was given to the officers of the Nawab. Thus, without any true responsibility, the British were enjoying authority over Bengal.
