Solution

The correct option is B 1876
Queen Victoria was given the title "Empress of India" (or Kaisar-i-Hind) from 1 May 1876 under Royal Titles Act 1876. The act was passed with the understanding that the British imperial title should be used only in India. Thus, the Queen began to use it in her signature in 1878 and in 1893 it appeared on the British coins.
