Solution

The correct option is C 1856
Some of the social reforms introduced by the British in India were aimed at improving the conditions of the people. However, while introducing such reforms the feelings of the people were not taken into consideration. Like Widow Remarriage Act, which was introduced in 1856 was not welcomed by the masses.
