consider the following statements: <br>1.\tThe &#8216;Accidental&#8217; school, championed by historians like John Seeley, contends that the British conquest was merely a consequence of securing trading posts against European rivals and reacting defensively to the anarchy of local Indian rulers.<br> 2.\tThe &#8216;Deliberate Empire Building&#8217; school argues that the consistent policy of military and territorial aggrandizement was predetermined by the British Parliament from the time of the EIC\u2019s charter. <br>3.\tThe consensus among recent historical interpretations suggests that the conquest was largely driven by the independent, profit-seeking decisions of EIC field agents and Governor-Generals, often running ahead of London&#8217;s initial policy directives. <br>Which of

Bengal and the Coromandel Coast. <br>2.\tThe EIC&#8217;s transition from a purely commercial to a political power was significantly accelerated by the need to secure the massive revenue from the Diwani of Bengal after the Battle of Buxar. <br>3.\tThe rise of strong, centralized regional Indian powers in the 18th century was the most significant factor that forced the British to abandon their

use of highly disciplined, regularly paid troops (sepoys) largely eliminated the issue of wartime desertion, which plagued the often-unpaid armies of local rulers. <br>3.\tThe European tactical
