Concept:The Government of India Act of 1858 transferred the control of India from the East India Company to the British Crown.
Explanation:The correct answer is the Government of India Act of 1858.
This Act was passed by the British Parliament after the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
It ended the rule of the East India Company in India and marked the beginning of direct rule by the British Crown.
The Act abolished the Company's Board of Directors and transferred its powers to the Secretary of State for India.
It also established the Council of India to assist the Secretary of State.
The other options are incorrect because:
• The Regulating Act of 1813 (option B) is incorrectly named; the actual Regulating Act was passed in 1773 and only brought Company affairs under British government oversight.
• Pitt's India Act of 1784 (option C) set up a Board of Control to supervise Company affairs but did not end Company rule.
• The Government of India Act of 1853 (option D) was the last Charter Act and introduced open competition for civil services, but Company rule continued.
Answer:Option A: Government of India Act of 1858.
