Answer 1

Hint: Karnataka is a state in southwest India that borders the Arabian Sea. Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore), the capital, is a high-tech Centre known for its shopping and nightlife. Mysore, in the southwest, is home to opulent temples such as Mysore Palace, the former seat of the region's maharajas.

Complete answer:
Karnataka's state government set a cap on how much land a family could own. The government of the time set the maximum amount of land that could be owned. A family could own 54 acres of fertile land with no access to water.

The family could have 10 to 18 acres if the land had irrigation and more than one crop was grown there.
 Each family could have a maximum of 27 acres if the land was irrigated and only one crop was grown. The Inam Cancellation Act was passed in 1977.

Additional information:
Lord Cornwallis founded the Zamindari system in India. He first instituted this scheme in West Bengal in 1793, and it was later introduced in other states. The land was owned by a person who was responsible for the payment of land revenue under this scheme.

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘B’.
