The correct answer is option 1 Santals. The Damin-i-Koh was a settlement created by the British Government specifically to provide a settlement for the Santal community. The Santals were an indigenous community belonging to the tribal region of Chotanagpur in present-day Jharkhand, India.

The British Government was keen on expanding its control over the Chotanagpur region due to its valuable mineral resources and potential for agriculture. As part of their efforts to establish control, the British created the Damin-i-Koh settlement in 1838. This settlement was meant to relocate the Santals from their original villages to a designated area that was more accessible and easier to administer for the colonial authorities.

The creation of the Damin-i-Koh settlement was not aimed at settling other communities such as Mundas, Oraons, or Saoras. The Santals were specifically targeted due to their presence in the region and their resistance to British expansion. It is important to note that the establishment of the Damin-i-Koh settlement had long-lasting consequences for the Santal community, including displacement, loss of traditional lands, and cultural disruption.
