The correct answer is option 4, Lord Warren Hastings. The Dual System of Government in Bengal was introduced during the time of Robert Clive, under which the British East India Company coexisted with the Nawabs of Bengal. However, it was Lord Warren Hastings who abolished this Dual System of Government. He was the first Governor-General of Bengal from 1774 to 1785 and played a significant role in the reorganization and consolidation of British territories in India. Hastings implemented several reforms, including the abolition of the Dual System of Government, which aimed to centralize power and control under the British East India Company. This decision marked a shift towards British control and administration of Bengal and laid the foundation for subsequent British governance in India.
