Solution

The correct option is C General Service Enlistment Act
The introduction of the General Service Enlistment Act created a lot of resentment among the Indian sepoys who served in the English East India Company's army. The Act mandated that soldiers be recruited to serve abroad. This would require crossing seas, an act forbidden under certain religious rules. To the Indians, the Act reflected the cultural insensitivity of the British towards them.
