Solution

The correct option is B Khandesh
The Bhils, an aboriginal tribe of Western Ghats with their strongholds in Khandesh, revolted against their new master, the English East India Company, fearing agrarian hardships under the new regime. The British crushed the revolt. However, the Bhils encouraged by the British reverses in the Burmese war again revolted under the leadership of Sewaram in 1825 signifying the popular character of the discontent.
