Explanation
To determine the correct chronological order, we must look at the years each event occurred:
1. Santhal Rebellion (II): This took place from 1855 to 1856 in the Rajmahal Hills. It was a tribal uprising against the oppressive zamindari system and British officials.
2. Mutiny of the Sepoys (IV): Also known as the First War of Independence, this began in May 1857.
3. Indigo Revolt (I): This movement by farmers against forced indigo cultivation occurred in Bengal from 1859 to 1860.
4. Deccan Riots (III): These agrarian riots against moneylenders took place in the Pune and Ahmednagar districts of Maharashtra in 1875.
The sequence by year is 1855, 1857, 1859, and 1875. This corresponds to the order II, IV, I, III, making Option D the correct answer.
