Hint: Tribal revolts against the colonial government started because of a new taxation system, exploitation by moneylenders and traders. The tribal rebellion against colonial rule happened in many places.

Complete Step by Step Answer:

The tribal revolt against colonial rule happened in Bastar district of Chhattisgarh in 1910. This rebellion was a reply to appraised oppression of the local tribal people by the British government. Forest communities upon which British government had imposed many regulations revolted against the oppressive colonial rule in Bastar. The princely state of Bastar has been a major centre of tribal conflict in India. During the colonial period, Bastar experienced many British interventions. Because of these interventions in the colonial era, tribal violence happened in the State of Bastar. The Bastar rebellion was mainly organised by the forest communities who were imposed many regulations by the British government. The Bastar rebellion was led from the village called Nethanar. Gunda Dhur led this rebellion. The Britishers sent their troop to control and suppress the rebellion in Bastar. Even after about three months, the British did not capture Gunda Dhur and were unable to suppress the rebellion. The work on reservation was temporarily suspended. This was a major victory for the rebels.
Option C is the correct answer to this question because tribal communities revolted against the Britishers in Bastar. Hence this is the correct answer.

Note: The first tribal revolt against Britishers took place in the 18th Century in Bastar in 1774 to 1779 by the Halba tribe.
