The correct answer is option 2: 1858.

The administration of the English East India Company in India came to an end in 1858. This marked a significant turning point in the history of India, as it led to the direct rule of India by the British government.

The English East India Company was established in 1600 with the purpose of trading goods between England and India. However, over time, it gradually gained political and administrative control over parts of India. This period of British rule is often referred to as the "Company Raj."

However, due to a series of events and increasing concerns about the mismanagement and corruption of the company, the British government decided to take direct control over India. In 1858, the Government of India Act was passed, which transferred the administration of India from the English East India Company to the British government. This marked the formal end of the company`s rule in India.

It is important to note that although the administration of the East India Company ended in 1858, the company itself continued to exist until it was dissolved in 1874.
