Solution

The correct option is A 1878 CE
<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> In 1878 CE, the British passed the Arms Act, which disallowed Indians from possessing any arms. The British did not want a revolt like the one in 1857 CE to recur and hence wanted to stop Indians from having rifles and pistols.
