Solution

The correct option is C The zamindars
The zamindars were the ones who profited the most from the Permanent Settlement, even if the East India Company gained revenue continuously, as the zamindars under the settlement had the most power. They could demand high taxes and eventually took land rent and gained from the slow rise in cultivation.
