Explanation:

- The Zamindari Settlement was introduced as part of the Permanent Settlement of 1793 in British India.

- Option 1: Reed and Munro – These individuals were involved in the Ryotwari Settlement, not Zamindari Settlement. This came later in the 19th century.

- Option 2: Corn Wallis – Lord Cornwallis, as the Governor-General, implemented the Zamindari Settlement. He aimed to stabilize revenue collection by engaging Zamindars as intermediaries.

- Option 3: William Bentick – Although a key reformer, he didn't introduce the Zamindari system.

- Option 4: Warren Hastings – His role was more in earlier administrative reforms, not specifically the Zamindari Settlement.
