Correct Answer

Wajid Ali Shah

Detailed Explanation

The reason for identifying Wajid Ali Shah as the ruler in question based on the given clues is as follows:

Nawab of Awadh: The first clue mentions that the ruler in question was the Nawab of Awadh. Wajid Ali Shah was indeed the Nawab of Awadh.

Annexation by Lord Dalhousie: The second clue states that his territory was annexed by Lord Dalhousie. This is historically accurate. Lord Dalhousie, the Governor-General of India at the time, annexed the Kingdom of Awadh (Oudh) in 1856.

Exiled to Calcutta: The third clue notes that he was exiled to Calcutta on the charge of misgovernance. After the annexation of Awadh, Wajid Ali Shah was deposed, and he was indeed exiled to Calcutta (now Kolkata) by the British authorities on charges related to mismanagement and misgovernance.

Considering these historical facts, it is clear that Wajid Ali Shah fits the description provided in the clues, making him the ruler associated with the 1857 Revolt in this context.

So, the correct option is [1].
