Solution

The correct option is A Dubagunta, Andhra Pradesh
Adavallu Ekamaite was a movement started by women in Dubagunta, in Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh. It was a movement against the sale of liquor in the village. They forced the shopkeepers to shut down their liquor shops, and raided the godown to destroy the arrack or liquor. They went to slums to raise awareness. A ban on arrack was imposed in 1993; it was prohibited in the state in 1995.
