Solution
The correct option is A Pitt's India Act
Pitt’s India Act 1784 or the East India Company Act 1784 was
passed in the British Parliament to rectify the defects of the Regulating Act
1773. It resulted in dual control or joint government in India by Crown in
Great Britain and the British East India Company, with crown having ultimate
authority. With this act, East India Company’s political functions were
differentiated from its commercial activities for the first time. The
relationship between company and crown established by this act kept changing
with time until the Government of India Act 1858 provided for liquidation of
the British East India Company.
