Answer 1

The correct option is D it accomodated the personal laws of Hindus and Muslims.

The significance of the Bengal Regulation of 1793 lies in the fact that it accomodated the personal laws of Hindus and Muslims. The Code was developed under the guidance of Charles, Earl (Lord) Cornwallis. This regulation established a revenue collection scheme that lasted until the 20th century. Beginning with Bengal, the system spread over all of northern India by means of the issue of a series of regulations dated 1 May 1793. The law administered was Hindu and Muslim personal law and a modified Muslim criminal code.
