Answer :
In 1914, the areas shaded in red on the map were controlled by Great Britain. Option A is correct.
Both territories in red were British colonies. After the Indian Rebellion of 1857 against the British East India Company, Great Britain succeded in gaining direct control of India. Furthermore, Great Britain colonised Australia in 1788, which was a direct response to the loss of the North American colonies after the defeat of the British forces in the American Revolutionary War.
