B Correct answer
Explanation

The prohibition of sati in 1829 is a key example of the British colonial government outlawing a traditional Hindu practice to reshape Indian social customs. While other changes occurred, this specific legal ban directly targeted deep-seated social and religious relations. The British did not dismantle the caste system, and sports like cricket were cultural adoptions rather than formal social reforms.
