Solution

The correct option is B 1813
The Charter Act of 1813 allowed the goods from Britain to India without any restrictions. Due to this, the Britishers in India stopped using Indian products and started promoting foreign products in India because they were cheap. As a result of it, the Indian craftsmen and artisans suffered, and it led to the decline of the Indian handicrafts industry.
