I'm sure this is the answer, Coronado!
1. The Mughal dynasty rules most of India
2. The British East India Company replaces the Mughal dynasty
3. The Sepoy Rebellion leads to war
4. British India is ruled directly from Great Britain
5. Queen Victoria is declared empress of India
America's support the ongoing struggle by Cubans and Filipinos against Spanish rule, and the mysterious explosion of the battleship U.S.S. Maine in Havana Harbor.
I would say (A) seems like the most logical answer
