Solution

The correct options are
A They resented the British interference in their socio-religious life.
B They felt that they had no access to justice.
The presence of Christian missionaries made the peasants and tribal people feel that the Britishers were interfering in their social and religious life. Also, the change in land revenue policies left them vulnerable to exploitation by the zamindars. They had no access to justice, and eventually revolted against the oppressors.
