Explanation:
Queen Victoria’s Proclamation of 1858 aimed to transfer the governance of India to the British Crown and formally renounce the annexation of Indian princely states, effectively ending Lord Dalhousie’s previous unification policy. While it addressed administrative control and territorial integrity, it did not include provisions for regulating the East India Company's commercial trade with India.
