The correct answer is (a). The Government of India Act 1858 transferred the Government of India from East India Company to the Crown.
The East India Company was a British joint-stock company that was formed in 1600. The company was granted a royal charter by Queen Elizabeth I, which gave it the right to trade with India. The company quickly became one of the most powerful trading companies in the world, and it played a major role in the colonization of India.
In 1857, the Indian Rebellion, also known as the Sepoy Mutiny, broke out. The rebellion was a major turning point in the history of British India. The rebellion was a major blow to the East India Company, and it led to the British government taking over direct control of India.
The Government of India Act 1858 was passed by the British Parliament in response to the Indian Rebellion. The act transferred the government of India from the East India Company to the Crown. The act also created a new government for India, which was headed by a Governor-General.
The Government of India Act 1858 was a major turning point in the history of British India. The act marked the end of the East India Company’s rule in India, and it ushered in a new era of British rule.
The Indian Councils Act 1861, the Royal Titles Act 1876, and the Indian Councils Act 1892 were all important pieces of legislation that were passed during the British Raj. However, none of these acts transferred the government of India from the East India Company to the Crown.
