Which of the following was a feature of the government of a British protectorate/

One feature of the government of a British protectorate was the Native Authority. A Native Authority was a form of indirect rule that allowed the British to govern their colonies through local traditional rulers, who were appointed or approved by the colonial government. The Native Authority acted as a link between the colonial government and the people, and was responsible for maintaining law and order, collecting taxes, and implementing colonial policies at the local level. The Native Authority was subject to the control and supervision of the colonial government, which had the power to appoint and remove traditional rulers, and to intervene in the affairs of the Native Authority when necessary. The other options listed (Legislative Council, Provincial Authority, and Executive Council) were also features of colonial government, but they were not necessarily specific to British protectorates.
