Solution

The correct option is C Robert Clive
Battle of Plassey in Bengal, on 23 June, 1757, was a crucial event in the history of India. It was the start of nearly two centuries of British rule in India. The British East India Company led by Robert Clive defeated Siraj-ud-Daulah, the Nawab of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa and a small French force. Hence Clive is called the Hero of Plassey.
