The correct answer is C. Thalakkal Chandu.
Thalakkal Chandu was a tribal leader who played a key role in the Kurichya Revolt, a rebellion against the British East India Company in the late 18th century. The revolt was led by the Kurichya people, a tribal group who lived in the Malabar region of India. The Kurichya were unhappy with the British rule and their treatment by the British officials. They also felt that the British were encroaching on their land and resources.
The revolt began in 1790 and lasted for several years. The Kurichya were initially successful in driving the British out of the region. However, the British eventually regrouped and defeated the Kurichya. Thalakkal Chandu was captured and executed by the British in 1792.
The Kurichya Revolt was a significant event in the history of the Malabar region. It showed the strength and determination of the Kurichya people and their willingness to fight for their rights. The revolt also highlighted the problems that the Kurichya faced under British rule.
