Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Regulating Act of 1773 is correctly matched as it was the first major step by the British Parliament to regulate the East India Company's affairs in India [3][t3]. It established the office of Governor-General of Bengal and a four-member council [t1][t2]. However, the other two pairs are incorrectly matched due to chronological errors. Pitt's India Act was passed in 1784, not 1793; it established the Board of Control to manage political matters [c2][t3]. The Charter Act of 1793 (not 1784) renewed the Company's commercial privileges for twenty years and mandated that the salaries of the Board of Control be paid out of Indian revenues [c5][t4]. Since only the first pair correctly associates the act with its respective year, the correct answer is 1 only.
