General KnowledgeHistory of India
- A1813
- B1833
- C1838
- D1860
Explanation
The East India Company lost its monopoly of the China trade (and its remaining commercial monopoly) under the Charter Act of 1833, which reduced the Company to a purely administrative body. The Charter Act of 1813 had earlier ended only the Company's monopoly of trade with India. 1838 and 1860 are not associated with this change.
