Solution

The correct option is A Lord Dalhousie
Lord Dalhousie was the Governor General who abolished the titles of Carnatic Nawab and Raja of Tanjore and refused pension to Nana Saheb. Lord Dalhousie came to India as the Governor-General in 1848. Dalhousie refused to recognize the titles of many ex-rulers or to pay their pensions. Thus, the titles of the Nawabs of Carnatic and of Surat and the Raja of Tanjore were extinguished.
