The correct option is B 1917
Cotton and Indigo were important raw materials for the British textile industry located in cities like Manchester and Liverpool. In Champaran, farmers were forced to grow Indigo instead of foodgrains. They were exploited mercilessly by landlords and finally, they revolted in 1917. This incident was known as the Champaran Movement.
