Robert Clive

James Lancaster

Correct Answer:

Robert Clive

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3- Robert Clive

Robert Clive led the Battle of Plassey on behalf of the British East India Company.

The Battle of Plassey was fought on June 23, 1757, between the British East India Company and the Nawab of Bengal, Siraj-ud-Daulah. Clive's victory in the battle marked the beginning of British rule in India.

Clive was a brilliant military strategist and a bold leader. He was able to defeat the much larger army of the Nawab by using a combination of deception and superior tactics. He also benefited from the defection of some of the Nawab's key allies.
