    2. B2 only
    3. C1 and 3 only
    4. D1, 2 and 3
    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: A

    Queen Victoria's Proclamation aimed to appease Indian rulers following the Sepoy Mutiny (Rebellion of 1857).

    Statement 1 is correct: Disclaiming annexation assured them their territories wouldn't be taken over.

    Statement 2 is correct: The proclamation did indeed transfer power from the East India Company to the British Crown by appointing a Viceroy to oversee administration in India and to report to the Queen directly.

    Statement 3 is incorrect: Regulating trade wasn't a primary focus of the proclamation, as the East India Company was free to trade in India under the Free Trade Policy, but without a monopoly.
