- BI-B, II-C, III-D, IV-A
- CI-A, II-B, III-C, IV-D
- DI-C, II-D, III-A, IV-B
Explanation
The correct answer is A because each revolt is accurately matched with its geographical region of origin as follows:
1. Moplah Revolt (1921): This was an uprising by Muslim tenants against British authorities and Hindu landlords in the Malabar region of Kerala.
2. Pabna Revolt (1873 to 1876): This was a resistance movement by peasants against the oppressive practices of zamindars in the Pabna district of East Bengal.
3. Eka Movement (1921): This was a peasant movement that emerged in the northern districts of Awadh, such as Hardoi, Bahraich, and Sitapur, primarily over issues of high rents.
4. Birsa Munda Revolt (1899 to 1900): Also known as the Ulgulan, this was a tribal rebellion led by Birsa Munda in the Chotanagpur plateau region, which is located in present day Jharkhand but was part of the Bihar province at the time.
By matching I with A, II with C, III with D, and IV with B, Option A is the only correct sequence.
