Explanation:

- The Government of India Act, 1858 was a pivotal legislative act by the British Parliament which resulted in the transfer of power from the English East India Company to the British Crown.

- This legislative change was a direct consequence of the Indian Rebellion of 1857, which led to widespread administrative and military reforms.

- Option 1: 1858 is correct as the act was implemented in this year.

- Option 2: 1857 marks the year of the mutiny which led to the upheaval but not the year of the Act.

- Option 3: 1859 and Option 4: 1856 hold no direct relevance to the transfer of control from the East India Company.
