Answer:
a) The doctrine of lapse was an annexation policy applied by the British East India Company in India until 1859. ... The latter supplanted the long-established right of an Indian sovereign without an heir to choose a successor. In addition, the British decided whether potential rulers were competent enough.
c) Discourtesy of the Mughal Emperors as Bahadur Shah Zafar was removed from Delhi's throne. Treatment melted out to Nana Saheb as he was the adopted son of Peshwa Baji Rao II and was refused pension as he was sending emissaries to different parts of the country and travelling himself to gather support for the rebellion.
