Solution
The correct option is C Both are right. Before establishing itself as a political power in Bengal and the Carnatic in the 1760s and 1770s, the East India Company struggled to get a regular supply of goods to export. They had to compete with other countries- the French, the Portuguese, the Dutch and Indian traders to secure a steady supply of woven cloth.
