CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Plassey was fought in 1757, between the East India Company under Clive and Siraj-ud-Daulah of Bengal.
It is treated as the beginning of Company political power in India.
1764 is Buxar, which is the battle that consolidated what Plassey began.
Worth noting
Plassey then Buxar, 1757 then 1764. Getting the order right matters more than the dates, because questions often ask which came first.
