Correct Answer:
C. Kerala
Explanation:
The correct answer is Option C: Kerala.
The Moplah Rebellion, also known as the Malabar Rebellion, was a significant uprising that took place in 1921 within the Malabar region of present-day Kerala. This revolt was primarily led by the Mappila Muslims, who were largely tenant farmers and laborers. The uprising was driven by a complex mix of anti-colonial sentiment against British rule and deep-seated agrarian grievances against the exploitative practices of local Hindu landlords, known as Jenmis. Influenced by the Khilafat and Non-Cooperation movements, the rebellion eventually escalated into a period of intense violence and armed conflict. It remains a notable event in Indian history for its focus on both religious identity and socio-economic struggles during the struggle for independence.
