Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is D.
Some local uprisings in Karnataka in 1857 were motivated by a desire to:
- Restore deposed rulers: The British had deposed many local rulers in Karnataka, and some people wanted to restore them to power.
- Resist British annexation policies: The British were annexing more and more territory in Karnataka, and some people wanted to resist this.
- Counter social and economic changes: The British were introducing new social and economic changes in Karnataka, and some people wanted to resist these.
All of these factors contributed to the uprisings in Karnataka in 1857.
The uprisings were largely unsuccessful, but they did show that there was a lot of resentment against British rule in Karnataka. The uprisings also led to some changes in British policy, such as a more cautious approach to annexation.
