Solution

The correct option is C Mobile traders
In 1871, the British government in India passed the Criminal Tribes Act. This Act classified many mobile craftsmen, traders, and pastoralists as criminal tribes. In addition, the nomadic people were stated to be criminal by nature and birth. According to this law, these communities were expected to live only in the notified village settlements.
