Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. The event that led the British government to shut down the East India Company and rule India directly was the Sepoy Mutiny.

Explanation:

The Sepoy Mutiny, was a revolt against British rule in India through the British East India Company. It took place in 1857–58, and was caused by violated religious sentiments and disregard for local social rights.

The rebellion was initiated by the large group of Indian soldiers under the collective name sepoys, who were set to serve in the service of the British East India Company.  

The hard work of the great British trading company to enlarge British possessions in India and Europeanize the colonized areas created great resistance. The immediate cause of the outbreak was sustained and rapidly spread rumors that the rifle ammunition used by the Sepoy regiments was loaded with a mixture of cow and pig fat. They used the Model 1853 Enfield, which were mouth chargers, and the method of loading a rifle was to bite the paper cartridge and hold the bullet in its mouth while inserting the gunpowder into the gun. However, if the paper and bullet were smeared in cow or pig fat, both the Hindu and Muslim religious regulations were violated.

The rebellion spread rapidly to virtually all British-controlled parts of India, and the fighting was particularly fierce in the north, where fierce clashes and massacres took place. Nepalese ruler Jung Bahadur Rana of the Gurkha government in Nepal saw an opportunity to form an alliance with the British and supported the fight against the revolt in Lucknow. This later became the reason why Nepal gained certain national benefits, as did an agreement on the supply of Gurkha soldiers to the British regiments in India.  

After the rebellion was fought, the British East India Company was dissolved and the British Government and Parliament in London took direct control of the area through British India.
