b. Muthuvaduganatha Periya Udaya Thevar
c. Velu Nachiyar
d. Thondaiman of Pudukottai

Answer 1

Hint:
 On October 24, 1801, two middle-aged brothers were publicly hanged in Tirupati Fort in southern Tamil Nadu. The Maruthu Pandiyar brothers are the rulers of the Kingdom of Sivaganga

Complete step by step solution:

Velu Nachiyar: She was born to Raja Chellamuthu Vijay Raghunatha Sethupathy and Rani Sakandimuthal in 1730, the only child. The royal couple raised her as a result of raising a male heir. She has been trained in horse riding, archery, and martial arts, such as Valeri (throwing sickles) and silambam (fighting with sticks). She is also fluent in many languages, including English, French, and Urdu.

Muthuvaduganatha Periya Udaya Thevar: The Kingdom of Ramnard was originally composed of three regions, Ramnard, Siwaganga, and Pudukkotai. Kilavan Sethupathy, also known as Regunatha Sethupathy, ruled Ramnard's seventh king from 1674 to 1710. The king allocated Peria Oodaya Thevar in Narukota to land sufficient to sustain 1,000 armed men.

Gowry Vallaba Periya Oodaya Thevar: Padamathur Gowry Vallabha Thevar (1801-1829) built a new building in the early 19th century and named it Gowri Vilasam. After Thevar died, his brother Oyya and his son occupied the palace together. Since the king has passed away intestate, he took over the leadership of the kingdom with the trick of the British takeover.

Thondaiman of Pudukottai: In 1686, the Ramnad kingdom was ruled by Raghunatha Kilavan Setupati, the Raja of Ramnad, and the Pudukottai region was ruled by a chief called Pallavarayan. The Raja of Ramnad suspected the chief's loyalty of the Ramnad kingdom and believed that the chief would shift his allegiance to the ruler of Thanjavur.


Hence, the correct answer is option D.

Note:
 Marudhu Pandiar is ready to face any attack from Britain. The British sent troops to him under the leadership of Colonel Agnes. Realizing the seriousness of this problem, Marudhu Pandiar invited people of all religions and castes to participate in the struggle against Britain. The rebels were defeated everywhere. Marudhu Pandiar is hidden in the Singampunari forest.
