Solution

The correct option is A Enfield
The sepoys refused to perform a military drill with the newly introduced Enfield rifles. The issue was not with the rifle, but with the cartridge used in the rifle. A rumour that the cartridges were coated with cow and pig fat had spread amongst the soldiers. The soldiers had to bite off a part of the cartridge before use, and this aggravated them.
