 The correct option is (c) Afghan war.

Lord Warren Hastings, who served as the Governor-General of Bengal from 1774 to 1785, was not associated with the Afghan war. The other options mentioned in the question are:

(a) Rohilla War: Lord Warren Hastings was indeed associated with the Rohilla War, which took place in 1774. He supported the Nawab of Awadh, Shuja-ud-Daulah, against the Rohilla chiefs, resulting in the defeat and displacement of the Rohilla Afghans.

(b) Chait Singh’s Case: Lord Warren Hastings was involved in Chait Singh’s case. Chait Singh was the Raja of Benares who revolted against the British East India Company’s authority in 1781. Lord Hastings took action against him and brought him under control.

(d) Nand Kumar’s Case: Lord Warren Hastings was also associated with Nand Kumar’s case. Nand Kumar was an Indian landowner who accused Hastings of corruption. This case became a significant political controversy during Hastings’ tenure.

Therefore, the correct answer is (c) Afghan war.
