In Francis Buchanan's survey of Dimajpur district, the class of rich peasants is reported as:

Jotedars

The correct answer is Option 2 - Jotedars

In Francis Buchanan's survey of the Dinajpur district in North Bengal, we have a vivid description of this class of rich peasants known as Jotedars. By the early nineteenth century, Jotedars had acquired vast areas of land, sometimes as much as several thousand acres. They controlled local trade as well as money lending, exercising immense power over the poorer cultivators of the region. A large part of their land was cultivated through sharecroppers (adhiyars or bargadars) who brought their own ploughs, labored in the field, and handed over half the produce to the Jotedars after the harvest.
