Britain could rule its large territory with direct, immediate communication.
The undersea and overland telegraph lines let London communicate quickly with colonial governors, administrators and businesses across the empire, enabling centralized control, faster decision‑making, and coordinated economic and political management. (Options about ships "following" telegraph routes or instant troop attacks are incorrect—telegraphes aided communication and coordination but didn’t move forces.)
