Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. It made them accountable to the British Government in civil/military affairs.
The Pitt's India Act of 1784 established a system of dual government in India. It created a new body called the Board of Control to oversee the British East India Company's political, civil, and military affairs. While the Court of Directors retained control over commercial activities, their political and administrative decisions were made strictly accountable to the British Government through this Board, significantly reducing the Company's monopoly power.
