Who among the following was/were associated with the introduction of Ryotwari Settlement in India during the British rule ? 1. Lord Cornwallis 2. Alexander Read 3. Thomas Munro Select the correct answer using the code given below :

1. Lord Cornwallis is primarily associated with the Permanent Settlement (Zamindari System) introduced in Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa in 1793, not the Ryotwari Settlement. Therefore, statement 1 is incorrect. 2. Captain Alexander Read was one of the pioneers of the Ryotwari Settlement. He first introduced it on a small scale in the Baramahal districts of the Madras Presidency in 1792, acquired after the Anglo-Mysore wars. Therefore, statement 2 is correct. 3. Thomas Munro, who worked with Read, later developed and implemented the Ryotwari Settlement on a large scale across Southern India, particularly when he was the Governor of the Madras Presidency (1820–27). He is strongly associated with this system. Therefore, statement 3 is correct. 4. Thus, both Alexander Read and Thomas Munro were associated with the introduction of the Ryotwari Settlement.
