Solution

The correct option is B Political leaders of Britain wanted to get control over the East India Company.
East India Company officials had become super-rich while working in India. Many people in Britain feared that they could upset the political environment of their country. Thus, the Regulating Act of 1773 was implemented to overhaul the management of the East India Company's rule in India.
