Complete answer: The Bedanayaka Paleyagars were brave warriors who became dominant in the Hyderabad - Karnataka region after the decline of the Vijayanagar Empire. They had many conflicts against the British after 1800, they revolted more than 25 times. The major role of these revolts was to drive out the British.

There were many causes for the revolts. Exploitation done by the local zamindars was one of the reasons for the revolts against the British. The other major reason for the revolts was the oppression done by the British. The oppression done by the British included the passing of the Arms Act and also the Forest Act. Both these acts played a huge role in the revolts done by the Bedanayak Paleyagars. The Bedanayaka Paleyagars, the local rulers and the common people were all provoked by the oppression done by the British and they all revolted.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Note: The death of Krishnadeva Raya in the year 1529 was the event which started the decline of the Vijayanagar Empire. In 1565 the chief minister of the Vijayanagar Empire - Rama Raya - led the empire into a fatal battle at Talikota. Combined forces of Bijapur, Ahmadnagar and Golconda defeated the Vijayanagar Empire.
