Solution

The correct option is B loyal
Due to permanent land revenue settlement, Zamindars became loyal to the East India Company. The Permanent Settlement of Bengal was brought into effect by the East India Company headed by the Governor-General Lord Cornwallis in 1793. This was basically an agreement between the company and the Zamindars to fix the land revenue. In this system Zamindars were the permanent masters of their holdings and they collected revenue from the peasants and looked after their interests.
