Correct Answer: (c) Land Revenue Settlement
Solution:

Holt Mackenzie was associated with the land revenue settlement. An Englishman named Holt Mackenzie prepared a new system (Mahalwari Settlement) for the North-Western Provinces of the Bengal Presidency (most of this area is now in Uttar Pradesh), which was implemented in 1822. Mackenzie believed that the village was an important social institution in North Indian society and should be preserved.
On his orders, Collectors toured village after village, inspected the land, measured the fields, and recorded the customs of various groups. The estimated revenue of each field in the village was added up to calculate the revenue to be collected from each village or group of villages (Mahal). This revenue was not fixed permanently but kept open for revision from time to time. The responsibility of collecting the revenue and paying it to the Company was entrusted to the Village Headman instead of the Zamindar. This system was named the Mahalwari Settlement.
