Answer 1

The correct option is D All of these

Following were the reasons for the outbreak of second Anglo-Sikh war.

• Sikhs were not happy with British ruling them.
  
• Treaty of Lahore did not last long and the resignation of the governor of Multan led to chaos in Punjab.
  
• Queen Mother Jindan was arrested and charged with treason for inciting other Sikhs. She was deposed. This disgraceful behaviour with queen mother led to the outbreak of war.
