Correct Answer: 1765


Solution : The correct option is 1765.

In 1765, the Mughal emperor appointed the East India Company as the Diwan (revenue administrator) of the provinces of Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa. This appointment followed the Battle of Buxar, where the British East India Company emerged victorious, granting them significant control over the region's administration and finances. This marked a pivotal moment in the company's expansion of power in India.
