The correct answer is B. After the last Mughal emperor was exiled to Burma by the English in 1857, British Colonialism began in India.

In the rebellion of 1857 the insurgent sepoy soldiers invoked the leadership of the last Mughal Emperor, Bahadur Shah II. Once the uprising was over, the British Raj assumed direct government over all of India and the Mughal Empire was formally abolished.
