Correct answer: B
Ireland was incorporated into the United Kingdom in 1801. Key context: The Act of Union 1800 came into effect on 1 January 1801 and united the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The failed Irish rebellion led by Wolfe Tone (1798) increased support in Britain for a legislative union.
