Solution
The correct option is A Bengal The weavers of Bengal suffered the most due to the English East India Company’s officials and their agents. The officials pressed the weavers to pay the transit duty for the commodities that the British officials transported from one place to another. Adding to it, the weavers were later made to pay for cultivation of commercial crops that were required for British textile industries in England.
