The correct answer is  The decline of Mughal power allowed the East India Company to expand its trading operations across the region. Let's understand why:

After the death of Akbar to Aurangzeb, the Emperor responsible to consolidate the Mughal Empire, a sequence of misadventures took place in the empire. A succession of emperors ascended to the throne, but none of them could save the decline of the empire. In the middle of this, the East India Company expanded its domain, taking control of former Mughal provinces and finally becoming the protectors of the Mughal Empire. By doing that, the company granted many trading privileges and also marked the beginning of the British colonial era over the India Subcontinent.
