Solution

The correct option is B Doctrine of Lapse
When the ruler of Jhansi died in 1853, leaving no natural heir, the widowed Rani Laxmi Bai was pensioned and their adopted son, Anand Rao, was not recognised as a lawful successor to the throne under the Doctrine of Lapse. And Jhansi was annexed by British East India Company.
