    C The Charter Act of 1833 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The Charter Act of 1813 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The Charter Act of 1813 is significant for asserting the British CrownтАЩs sovereignty over India and extending the East India CompanyтАЩs rule for 20 more years. However, it ended the companyтАЩs trade monopoly in India, except for trade in tea, opium, and with China. The act also allowed local governments to impose taxes and granted courts more authority over British subjects in India.
