While the Revolt of 1857 had major centers elsewhere, its impact on Assam was:

The correct answer is: a) Non-existent.

The Revolt of 1857, also known as the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the Sepoy Mutiny, or the First War of Indian Independence, was a major uprising in India against the rule of the British East India Company. The revolt began in Meerut on 10 May 1857 and spread to other parts of northern and central India. The rebels were defeated by the British in 1858, but the revolt had a profound impact on British rule in India.

The revolt had no significant impact on Assam. This is because Assam was a relatively remote and sparsely populated province at the time. The British had only recently annexed Assam in 1826, and the province was still under the control of the British East India Company. The Company had not yet had time to establish a strong presence in Assam, and the local population was not yet familiar with British rule.

As a result, the revolt of 1857 did not have the same resonance in Assam as it did in other parts of India. The local population was not motivated to join the revolt, and the British were able to suppress it without much difficulty.

Here is a brief explanation of each option:

• Option (a): Non-existent. This option is correct because the revolt of 1857 had no significant impact on Assam.
• Option (b): Very limited. This option is incorrect because the revolt of 1857 did have some impact on Assam, although it was not as significant as in other parts of India.
• Option (c): Surprisingly widespread. This option is incorrect because the revolt of 1857 did not have a widespread impact on Assam.
• Option (d): Strong but delayed. This option is incorrect because the revolt of 1857 did not have a strong impact on Assam, and it was not delayed in Assam.
