The correct answer is: a) Zamindars to tenant farmers.
Land reforms were initiated after independence to redistribute land from the zamindars, who were large landowners, to the tenant farmers, who were the actual tillers of the land. The zamindars had been given large tracts of land by the British East India Company in return for collecting taxes from the peasants. However, they often exploited the peasants and did not provide them with a fair share of the produce. The land reforms were aimed at ending this exploitation and giving the peasants a greater stake in the land.
The zamindars were not happy with the land reforms and they tried to resist them. However, the government was determined to implement the reforms and it eventually succeeded in doing so. The land reforms had a significant impact on the lives of the peasants. They were now able to own their own land and they were able to improve their standard of living.
The other options are incorrect. Option b) is incorrect because the land reforms did not redistribute land from large landholders to the landless. Option c) is incorrect because the land reforms did not redistribute land from the government to private corporations. Option d) is incorrect because the land reforms did not redistribute land from temples to secular institutions.
