Answer:
The correct answer is B. Britain was the industrialized power that took control of Burma and Malaysia.
Step-by-step explanation:
The British East India Company was the most powerful of several East Indian companies that were established especially in the 17th century in Europe for the East India trade, which they had exclusive rights to.
It was established on December 31, 1601. East India here refers to the actual India as well as to Southeast Asia as a difference from the Caribbean West Indies.
The company's activities expanded from mere trading to controlling India and other parts of Asia by political and military means. The company was dissolved in 1858 as a result of the events of the Indian Sepoy's Rebellion, after which the Indian regime came under British control.
