Solution
The correct option is C Robert Clive
Though a
state of war did not exist in Europe, the proxy war continued in India. On one
side was Nasir Jung, the Nizam and his protege Muhammad Ali, supported by the
English, and on the other was Chanda Sahib and Muzaffar Jung, supported by the
French, vying for the Nawabship of Arcot. Muzaffar Jung and Chanda Sahib were
able to capture Arcot while Nasir Jung's subsequent death allowed Muzaffar Jung
to take control of Hyderabad. Muzaffar's reign was short as he was soon killed,
and Salabat Jung became Nawab. In 1751, however, Robert Clive led British
troops to capture Arcot, and successfully defend it.
