SUBMIT

B. gradually lost control over its own economy.

Explanation:

As the British continually traded with the Mughal empire, they began to exert more and more control over the economy like they did in China. They used this to push for favorable terms in trade for the British above other European countries like Holland.

This eventually culminated with the British simply conquering the Mughal empire and taking over India and its surrounding areas through the use of the British East India Company which was the principal company controlling trade.
