Solution

The correct option is D Neither 1 and 2
Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct: Many tribal uprisings were led by messiah-like figures. For example Munda Rebellion under Birsa Munda. These leaders encouraged tribals to revolt against their oppressors and promised them to liberate from sufferings.

Statement 2 is correct: Tribal uprisings were localized and isolated as they raised the banner of revolt against their local grievances. They could not spread the revolt to larger areas due to traditional outlook, outdated weapons and absence of modern communication equipment.
