Answer

Exam answer

(b) Subsidiary Alliance - Lord Wellesley.

Explanation

Only (b) is correctly matched: Lord Wellesley introduced the Subsidiary Alliance in 1798. The others are deliberately shuffled — the Doctrine of Lapse belongs to Dalhousie (not Canning, who was Governor-General during the 1857 Revolt), and both the Arms Act and the Vernacular Press Act of 1878 belong to Lord LYTTON (not Curzon, who partitioned Bengal in 1905). Learn the four pairings together, since matching questions of this kind recur every year.

In words

Subsidiary Alliance - Lord Wellesley.
