Correct Answer: Mir Jafar


Solution : The correct option is Mir Jafar.

During the Battle of Plassey in 1757, the Nawab of Bengal, Siraj-ud-Daula, experienced treachery from one of his own commanders, Mir Jafar. This high-ranking officer collaborated with the British East India Company under the leadership of Robert Clive to betray the Nawab. This act of betrayal was pivotal in the British triumph at Plassey, paving the way for their ascendancy in Bengal and, eventually, across a significant portion of India. Following the battle, Mir Jafar was installed as a figurehead Nawab by the British.
