Show answer and solution

Answer: (A) Buxar

After defeating the combined forces of Mir Qasim, the Nawab of Awadh and Shah Alam II at Buxar in 1764, Robert Clive secured the Diwani, the right to collect revenue, by the Treaty of Allahabad in 1765. Plassey (1757) established Company influence in Bengal but not the Diwani, Wandiwash (1760) was against the French, and Panipat is unrelated.
