Who put an end to the system of Dual Government in Bengal?
Answer: B
The Dual Government in Bengal was ended by Warren Hastings.
Under the system set up by Robert Clive in 1765, the East India Company held the diwani (revenue rights) while the Nawab kept nominal responsibility for administration, giving the Company power without responsibility. In 1772 Warren Hastings, as Governor of Bengal, abolished it and made the Company take over administration directly.
Clive created the system rather than ending it. The British Parliament's Regulating Act came the following year, in 1773.
