(a) Mir Jaffer

(b) Mir Kasim

(c) Nawab Allvardi Khan

(d) Siraj-ud-Daulah

Ans: (d) Siraj-ud-Daulah

 Explanation: The correct answer is (d) Siraj-ud-Daulah.

Ghasiti Begam, Shaukat Jang, Rajballabh, and Yar Latif Khan harboured bitter hostility towards Siraj-ud-Daulah.

Siraj-ud-Daulah was the Nawab of Bengal from 1756 to 1757. He is famously known for his role in the Battle of Plassey in 1757, where he was defeated by the forces of the British East India Company led by Robert Clive.

Ghasiti Begam, Shaukat Jang, Rajballabh, and Yar Latif Khan were notable figures who opposed Siraj-ud-Daulah and his rule. They were part of the faction that had grievances against Siraj-ud-Daulah’s policies and administration.

The Battle of Plassey marked a turning point in the history of Bengal as it led to the British gaining significant control over the region. Siraj-ud-Daulah’s defeat in the battle further fueled the animosity and hostility among those who opposed him.

Therefore, the individuals mentioned in the question harboured bitter hostility towards Siraj-ud-Daulah.
