Respuesta :

C. India came to be ruled directly by the British government.

Answer:

The British government took control and implemented direct rule.

Explanation:

The East India Company continued to expand both economically and militarily. By 1857, the East India Company's military consisted of high-ranking British officers and sepoys. Sepoy was a broad term to describe Indians who served in British-led troops. Tensions between the sepoys and the British officers escalated. In 1857, the Sepoy Rebellion broke out following the use of pig and cow fat in British rifle cartridges, representing the culmination of growing Indian resentment against Britain.  

For the sepoys, the rebellion was symbolic. They demanded that the British needed to respect Indian culture, tradition, and religious beliefs, and the rebellion highlighted the British need to establish formal colonial rule in India. The British government dissolved the East India Company and took direct control.
