Explanation
The Regulating Act (1773) created the office of the Governor‑General of Bengal with an Executive Council and framed provisions for judicial and administrative control — matching provision 2. Pitt’s India Act (1784) established a Board of Control and a dual system separating political supervision from the Company’s commercial directors — matching provision 4. The Charter Acts (notably 1833) ended the Company’s commercial activities and transformed it into an administrative body — matching provision 3 [1]. The Government of India Act (1858) transferred the Company’s administrative powers to the Crown and redefined the Governor‑General as the Crown’s Viceroy — matching provision 1 [1]. Hence A-2, B-4, C-3, D-1 (option 1).
