Solution

The correct option is D Your comrades from the regiment break you out of prison.
After the hanging of Mangal Pandey, the rumours about the greased cartidges were hard to suppress. Soon, soldiers in the Meerut military base also refused to use the cartridges. About 85 sepoys were punished with ten years of imprisonment. However, other soldiers broke them out of prison, and the band of rebels soon knocked on the door of Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar, declaring him Shahenshah-e-Hindustan, and persuading him to lead the rebellion.
