Solution
The correct option is A Nana Saheb
'A' is Nana Saheb. Nana Saheb, born as Dhondu Pant, was an Indian Peshwa of the Maratha empire, aristocrat, and fighter, who led the rebellion in Kanpur during the 1857 uprising. As the adopted son of the exiled Maratha Peshwa Baji Rao II, Nana Saheb believed that he was entitled to a pension from the East India Company. The Company's refusal to continue the pension after his father's death, as well as what he perceived as high-handed policies, compelled him to revolt and seek independence from company rule in India.
