Answer 2

1). The British improved the communications systems in India.

2). The British expanded the railroad and irrigation networks.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first and second options correctly elaborate the colonial rule in India. The Britishers played a central role in initiating, as well as, improving the commercial activities in India including communication(postal services, telegraphs), transport(railroad, ports, roadways construction), irrigation works, etc. These developments eventually helped in the economic and political growth of the East India company. Although they were not interested in boosting the Indian economy but to pursue their own interest, yet they had a significant role in it. Thus, options 1 and 2 are the correct answers.
