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.
