The Pitt's India Act of 1784 established a Board of Control, consisting of six commissioners appointed by the Crown, to supervise the East India Company's civil, military, and revenue affairs [5]. The Charter Act of 1813 terminated the Company's trade monopoly in India, opening trade to all British subjects, though it retained the monopoly over tea and trade with China [6]. The Charter Act of 1833 theoretically removed discrimination against Indians in employment by stating that no native should be disabled from holding any office or employment by reason of religion, place of birth, or descent [2]. Finally, the Charter Act of 1853 enlarged the Governor-General's Legislative Council by adding six new members for legislative purposes, effectively separating legislative and executive functions for the first time [3]. Therefore, the correct matching sequence is A-3, B-4, C-2, D-1.
