Solution

The correct option is B bourgeois property rights in land to Zamindars
Lord Cornwallis introduced the Permanent Settlement of 1793 in Bengal. Zamindars were recognised as the owners of the land and revenues were collected by them. They were to pay a fixed amount which was permanent and would not change in future to the government. The zamindar would stay the owner as long as he paid the fixed revenue at the said date. This system was introduced in Bengal, Orissa and Bihar.
