Solution

The correct option is A Naxalism
Naxalism started in India as an armed peasant's rebellion in 1967 in Naxalbari, a village in West Bengal. The movement was a violent uprising initiated by the Communist Party of India (Marxist). The central theme of their Maoist ideology is the use of violence and armed insurrection as a means to capture State power.
