Solution

The correct option is A 1848
Lord Dalhousie was appointed as the Governor-General of India in 1847, but he reached the sub-continent only in 1848 when his tenure began. Under him, Britain became the predominant power in India. He was the one who adopted the Doctrine of Lapse to integrate the whole of the Indian sub-continent into the British Empire.
