Solution

The correct option is B British
The Ilbert Bill was introduced with one objective: to give Indian judges and magistrates the same power as British lawyers and magistrates. This would enable Indian judges to try British offenders in criminal cases at the district level. The British, both in India and in Britain, strongly opposed the bill and it was not passed.
