Solution

The correct option is C Surontiko Samin
Surontiko Samin of Randablatung in Indonesia was from a teak village. He believed that humans did not make air, water, wind, earth and hence, cannot be taxed or controlled by them. Thus, he opposed the Dutch policies. This ideology became the basis of the Saminist movement that opposed the Dutch administration through non-violent means.
