Option 1: 1838. This is not the correct answer because the East India Company did not cease to exist in 1838. It continued to operate in India until a later year.

Option 2: 1919. This is not the correct answer because by 1919, India was not completely under the control of the British government. The British Raj was established in 1858, which marked the end of the East India Company`s rule in India.

Option 3: 1858. This is the correct answer. In 1858, the British government took over the administration of India from the East India Company. This was a result of the Indian Rebellion of 1857, also known as the Sepoy Mutiny, which led to the dissolution of the East India Company.

Option 4: 1898. This is not the correct answer as the British government took complete control of India in 1858, not 1898.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3: 1858.
