Detailed Solution

A significant result of the 1857 rebellion was that India became part of the British Empire.
The rebellion damaged the foundation of the British East India Company and proved its effectiveness in running the Indian government. The biggest impact was the passing of the Government of India Act in 1858, which saw the British East India Company's position diminished and the British Crown established in India. After this rebellion and the Act of 1858, India was directly ruled by the British Parliament.
So option 2 is correct.
