Solution

The correct option is B Vernacular Press Act
The Arms Act of 1878 CE disallowed Indians from possessing arms. The Vernacular Press Act of 1878 CE was enacted to restrict the freedom of the Indian press and prevent the expression of criticism toward British policies. Both these acts fuelled the anger and resentment of Indians towards the British rule.
