Solution

The correct option is C Executive Council

The Regulating Act constitutionally recognized the political functions of a trading company and established the control of the British Government over the Company’s India affairs. But the Regulating Act had certain shortcomings. The Governor-General had no control over the Council. He could function only with the majority opinion of the council.
