Solution

The correct option is D Indigo
The British used to promote the cultivation of cash crops like indigo, for generating higher profits. But the terms and rules regulated for indigo cultivation were not favourable for the farmers and peasants. Hence, the peasants of Bengal formed unions to revolt against it.
