Answer
A
Britain took control of China’s government.
B
The internal government conflict ended.
C
The Qing Dynasty was strengthened.
D
The number of lives lost was over twenty million.

Explanation

The Taiping Rebellion was a massive civil war in China from 1850 to 1864. It caused an estimated 20 million or more deaths, making “the number of lives lost was over twenty million” the true statement. The rebellion weakened the Qing Dynasty and did not end internal conflict or give Britain control of China’s government.
