Complete answer:
The arrangement of Dual Government was presented in Bengal by Robert Clive of British East India Company. It endured from 1765 to 1772. Under this framework, the organization of Bengal was isolated into Nizamat and Diwani. The Diwani was completed by the organization and the Nizamat by the Nizam.
The framework was annulled by Warren Hastings in 1772 and Bengal was brought under direct control of english and the Nawabs stayed as the simple retired people of the East India Company.

-Warren Hastings in 1772 and Bengal was brought under direct control of the British, Hence Option A. is an correct option.
-Lord Cannon was born in 1812, hence this option is invalid.
-Lord Curzon relates to the Division of Bengal in 1905, Hence wrong option.
-Clearly since Option A. is the correct answer, this option is invalid as well.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘A’.
