Answer:

Mary's servants are Indian C. because India was ruled by the British.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a sad and shameful truth that colonizers subjugate the native people from the countries they are ruling over. With India, it was no exception. The novel "The Secret Garden", by Frances Hodgson Burnett, is set at a time when India was still ruled by the British. The novel was published in 1911, and the story is set at the turn of the 20th century. The main character, Mary, is the child of a rich British couple living in India. Their servants, instead of being British, are natives. India would only declare independence from England in 1947.
