Correct option is B
The correct chronological order of the rebellions is as follows:
The Sanyasi Rebellion of Bengal (B): This rebellion started in the 1770s, in the backdrop of the economic hardships caused by the British rule, especially during the time of the Bengal Famine of 1770. It involved the Sanyasi (ascetics) and Fakirs (Muslim ascetics), who protested against the British policies.
The Vishakhapatnam Uprising (E), also known as the Vizagapatam mutiny, was a significant early act of resistance against British rule in India. It took place on October 3, 1780, in the town of Vizagapatam (now Visakhapatnam) when local sepoys rebelled against the East India Company. Led by Shaik Mohammed Khan, a subedar in the Grenadiers Regiment, the rebellion resulted in the killing of two British officers and the imprisonment of the chief of the settlement.
The Sepoy Mutiny at Vellore (D): The Vellore mutiny took place in 1806, where Indian soldiers rebelled against British officers in the Vellore Fort due to the imposition of new military regulations and the disrespect shown towards their religious beliefs.
Kolhapur uprising generally refers to the Gadkari Revolt of 1844 in the Kolhapur district of Maharashtra, India. This revolt was a response to the British occupation of Satara and the subsequent takeover of lands, particularly those belonging to the Gadkaris, a Maratha militia. The Gadkaris, along with other groups, rose in opposition to the British, taking control of forts and even setting up a parallel government.
The revolt of Santhals of Bengal and Bihar (A): This revolt took place in 1855-1856 and was one of the earliest tribal uprisings against the British. The Santhal rebellion was directed against both the exploitative policies of the British and the zamindars, who taxed them excessively.
