A proper adjective is an an adjective derived from a proper noun that is also typically capitalized. (Proper nouns are the origin of proper adjectives.)

In this case, if Britain is a proper noun, then British is the proper adjective. So the answer to your question should be British.

Hope this answer helps you, have a great day!.
