What policy did British authorities use to control the Indian people after colonizing their territory

The correct answer is Creating a new social elite that excluded Indian People.

A. Replacing the Indian government with a bureaucracy controlled by the British.

Explanation:

One of the reasons why the British empire was so successful in governing India was because they were able to control the whole government. Although India had a well-developed and established government before colonization, this could not oppose the power of the empire. The British were successful in establishing a bureaucracy that they completely controlled. This reduced the ability of Indians to act independently or enact any change.
