Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer. The settlement of revenue had to be made by cultivators directly
-Munro System was organized in the late eighteenth century by Sir Thomas Munro. He was the Governor of Madras in 1820.
- Under this system, the farmers or cultivators subsisted as the proprietors of the land. They had privileged rights, could auction, mortgage, or grant the land.
-This was exercised in the Madras and Bombay regions, as well as Assam and Coorg colonies.
