Which provision of the Treaty of Allahabad most strengthened British political authority in eastern India?
Granting of the Diwani rights of Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa to the Company.
The Treaty of Allahabad granted the Company the Diwani rights of Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa, giving it direct control over revenue collection and strengthening British authority.
The other options describe restorations, withdrawals or transfers that either did not happen this way or are unrelated to this treaty's core provision.
Hence, 'Granting of the Diwani rights of Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa to the Company' is the correct answer.
