Explanation:
Option d
that's all of these
Answer:
The correct response is (d), or All of these. The East India Company began annexing princely territories on the Indian subcontinent under the "doctrine of lapse," which was in effect until 1858.
Explanation:
The British Raj under the British Crown took over from Company administration the next year. The British East India Company had a regulation that, in the event of the death of a princely state or area subject to its paramountcy without a natural heir, the state would be automatically annexed to the British empire.
The major aspect of this policy of annexation was that any Indian king engaging into a subsidiary alliance was not permitted to negotiate and before concluding a contract with another Indian ruler, the ruler had to consult the english.
