Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) 1784

Explanation:

• The first armed tribal rebellion against the British in India is considered to have taken place in 1784 with the Paharia Rebellion.
• The Paharias, a tribal group in the Chotanagpur Plateau (modern-day Bihar and Jharkhand), rose against the British due to the harsh policies, land exploitation, and encroachments on their land.
• The British had been expanding their control over tribal areas, and the Paharias resisted British military incursions and land annexations. This was one of the earliest known tribal rebellions against British rule in India.

Information Booster:

• The Paharia Rebellion of 1784 is sometimes referred to as the first significant rebellion, showcasing the tribal resistance against colonial policies long before other prominent rebellions such as the Santhal Rebellion or Rampa Rebellion.
