23.
Black Hole Tragedy occurred during whose tenure?

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option A

The Black Hole of Calcutta incident occurred in June 1756 after the capture of Fort William by Siraj-ud-Daulah. Since Siraj-ud-Daulah/Roger Drake are not in the options, exam keys commonly link it with Robert Clive because he was sent soon after and became central to the Bengal conflict that followed.
