Show answer and solution
Answer: (C) Lord Wellesley
Lord Wellesley (1798-1805) perfected the Subsidiary Alliance, under which an Indian ruler maintained a British force and accepted a Resident. The Nizam of Hyderabad joined in 1798, the first major state to do so. Dalhousie is associated with the Doctrine of Lapse and Bentinck with social reforms.
