Solution

The correct option is B British Parliament
Pitt's India Act of 1784 gave the British Government supreme control over Company's affairs and its administration in India. It differentiated the commercial and political affairs of the Company. Thus it established a system of double government in India by Crown in Great Britain and the British East India Company. The Governor-General was to be under indirect control of the British Government through the Board of Control. He was to be appointed with the approval of British Parliament.
