Solution

The correct option is B Lord Wellesley
The Subsidiary Alliance was introduced by Lord Wellesley who was Governor-General in India from 1798 to 1805. The princely states were not allowed to have their own armed force. They were to be protected by the East India Company but had to pay for the subsidiary forces that the company was to maintain for protection.
