Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C

Explanation

Khan Bahadur Khan, the grandson of Hafiz Rehmat Khan (the former ruler of Rohilkhand), led the 1857 uprising in Bareilly. He organized a government and a formidable army of nearly 40,000 soldiers to resist British rule in the region until he was eventually captured and executed.

The other leaders mentioned were active in different centers of the revolt:

  • Begum Hazrat Mahal led the rebellion in Lucknow (Awadh).
  • Nana Saheb led the struggle in Kanpur.
  • Kunwar Singh was the prominent leader in Arrah/Jagdishpur (Bihar).

The 1857 rebellion was characterized by such localized leadership across Northern and Central India, where traditional rulers and landlords rose against the British East India Company.
