Answer: Option B
Answer: (b)
The charter to the English East India Company for the monopoly of eastern trade for 15 years was given by Queen Elizabeth I in 1600. Initially, the company struggled in the spice trade due to the competition from the already well-established Dutch East India Company.

During this time, ships belonging to the company arriving in India docked at Surat, which was established as a trade transit point in 1608.
