Which of the following did not take place during the expansion of the British Empire under Queen Victoria's reign?
Multiple choice question for Ages, era, period. Select an option, then review the explanation below.
Explanation
Option C is incorrect because, in reality, the governance of India was transferred from the East India Company to the British Crown and Parliament, not the other way around. The East India Company initially managed India, but after the Revolt of 1857, Parliament assumed direct control to ensure better administration. All other options correctly describe events during Queen Victoria's reign.
