Answer: C
The district became the administrative unit in the period of Warren Hastings.
In 1772, when the East India Company took over the direct collection of revenue in Bengal, Warren Hastings placed a Collector in charge of each district, responsible for revenue and also for civil justice. That made the district the basic unit of British administration, the position it still holds.
Robert Clive's period is known for the Dual Government of Bengal (1765), Lord Cornwallis for the Permanent Settlement and the separation of revenue from judicial work (1793), and Lord Wellesley for the Subsidiary Alliance.
