    1. Dacca
    2. Monghyr
    3. Calcutta
    4. Murshidabad
Correct Option: C

Fort William at Calcutta was besieged on June 15, 1756 by Nawab of Bengal Siraj-ud-daula and he captured it. English prisoners at Calcutta were lodged in a prison room of the fort. The room was very small and so only 23 out of 146 prisoners survived the next day.
