C.Zamindari of 24 parganas
D.Bengal

Answer 1

Hint: Syed Mir Jafar Ali Khan Bahadur was a military general. He became the first dependent Nawab of Bengal in the British East India Company.

Complete answer: Robert Clive a British officer bribed Mir Jafar who was the commander in chief of the Nawab’s army. The bribe was to make Mir Jafar the Nawab of Bengal. Clive’s goal was to conquer Bengal in order to get the money and resources required for imperialism. In this process, Clive betrayed Mir Jafar during the Battle of Plassey and did not make him the Nawab but in turn, conquered Bengal and made Mir Jafar a traitor who betrayed their country in the eyes of the Indians.
Option A. Zamindari of Awadh. The Zamindari abolition act was introduced in Awadh ensured that the zamindars (Nawabs) receded into history.
Option B. Kohinoor diamond was a very valuable stone. This is not what Mir Jafar gave to the British.
Option C. Zamindari of 24 Parganas is not the correct answer to this question.
Option D. Bengal was what the British conquered after the Battle of Plassey.

The correct answer to this question is option D- Bengal.

Note: Do not get confused with Siraj-ud-Daulah and Mir Jafar. Siraj-ud-Daulah was the nawab who was defeated in The Battle of Plassey. Mir Jafar helped the British to get the position of Siraj-ud-Daulah after he got defeated in the battle, but that did not happen as the British betrayed him.
