Which British governor ended the Dual System of Government in Bengal?

Warren Hastings

The correct answer is Option 2- Warren Hastings

Warren Hastings was the British governor who ended the Dual System of Government in Bengal in 1772.

The Dual System of Government was introduced by Robert Clive in 1765. Under this system, the Nawab of Bengal remained the titular head of the state, but the British East India Company had control over the revenue and administration of Bengal.

Warren Hastings abolished the Dual System of Government in 1772 and brought Bengal under direct British rule. This was a significant step in the British conquest of India.

The other options are all incorrect. Robert Clive introduced the Dual System of Government, but he did not end it. John Shore and William Bentinck were both British governors of Bengal, but they did not end the Dual System of Government either.
