Correct answer
Explanation
The 1857 uprising (Indian Rebellion) led to the end of the East India Company's rule in India. Following the revolt, the British Crown assumed direct control through the Government of India Act 1858. The directional company names (West, South, North India Company) are fictional distractors - only the East India Company existed as the governing colonial power.
