Answer:

A. Great Britain

Step-by-step explanation:

The British Raj (de rāj, literally government in Hindi) was the regime of colonial government of the British Crown on the Indian subcontinent between 1858 and 1947. This regime is also known as the Crown Government in India, or Direct Government of India.7 At present, the area under British rule that was called "British India" is divided between the states of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Burma; the states that were ruled by Hindu kings under British tutelage, were called Princely States. The resulting political union was also known as the Indian Empire (after 1876 passports were issued under that name). India was a founding member of the League of Nations, participated in the summer Olympics of 1900, 1920, 1928, 1932 and 1936, and in 1945 was a founding member of the United Nations Organization in San Francisco.
