Possible Answers:
combined venture with the Dutch East India Company
experiment in early socialism
religious group fleeing persecution
missionary mission to South East Asia
joint stock company
Correct answer:
joint stock company
Explanation:
The English (later British) East India Company was founded in 1600 by Elizabeth I, who gave the company a trading monopoly on all trade with the East Indies (India and much of South Asia). The company was a combined venture of several investors who pooled their resources and shared in the profits, much in the way of a modern corporation owned by shareholders. This practice is called a joint stock company.
