1772 मध्ये ______ यांची पदे रद्द करुन महसूलाचे प्रशासन थेट गव्हर्नर आणि परिषद यांच्या नियंत्रणाखाली दिले.

The correct answer is Option A (Naib Diwans).

Key Points:
• Administrative Reforms of Warren Hastings (1772):
• Under the Dual System of Government established by Robert Clive in Bengal (1765), revenue collection was managed by two appointed Naib Diwans: Mohammad Reza Khan (for Bengal) and Raja Shitab Rai (for Bihar).
• In 1772, Governor Warren Hastings abolished the Dual System of government to consolidate direct East India Company rule.
• The posts of Naib Diwans were officially abolished, and Reza Khan and Shitab Rai were removed and tried for embezzlement.
• The East India Company decided to 'stand forth as Diwan' and directly manage land revenue.
• A Board of Revenue was established at Calcutta, and British collectors were appointed in each district under the direct supervision of the Governor and Supreme Council.
• Key Takeaway: In 1772, Warren Hastings abolished the posts of Naib Diwans to establish direct Company revenue administration.
