B. Charter Act, 1813

C. Charter Act, 1833

D. Regulating Act, 1773

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The Pitt's India Act of 1784 established the position of the Governor-General of India. This act was introduced by William Pitt the Younger, the Prime Minister of Great Britain. The act was passed to reform and regulate the administration of the British East India Company in India.

Under the Pitt's India Act, the Governor of Bengal was made the Governor-General of India and was vested with greater powers to oversee the governance and administration of the entire British Indian territories. This act marked an important step in centralizing the control and administration of British India.

Option B: The Charter Act of 1813 mainly focused on trade and commerce within British India.
Option C: The Charter Act of 1833 introduced significant reforms in the governance and administration of British India, but it did not specifically establish the position of Governor-General.
Option D: The Regulating Act of 1773 was one of the earliest acts aimed at regulating the administration of the British East India Company, but it did not establish the Governor-General's position.

Therefore, the correct option is Option A: Pitt's India Act, 1784, which made the Governor of Bengal the Governor-General of India and marked an important milestone in the governance of British India.
