Solution
The correct option is B Proof of land-ownership
The English East India Company formed the Inam Commission and mandated the owners of land holdings to produce title deeds. The owners had to prove their ownership. If they were unable to do so, they would lose inam land to the Company. Through this policy, the Company took over tens of thousands of landholdings from taluqdars, the hereditary landowners who held vast landholdings.
