Hint:
1 There were many ways in which the rich people tortured the poor people. the poor people were exploited.
2 Post-independence poor people such as the farmers, labourers were facing a lot of problems.
3 There were many reforms that were made so that poor people do not face any issue.

Complete answer:
1 The independent and semi-autonomous rulers and administrators of the Mughal area of Bihar and later under British rule were the Zamindars of Bihar.

2 Bihar's zamindars were numerous and, depending on how much land they governed, could be split into small, medium and large. Within Bihar, the zamindars had economic and military strength.

3 Each zamindari will have its own permanent army, usually consisting of its own clansmen.

4 There was large-scale support in Bihar for the abolition of zamindari following independence in1947, especially among peasants, agricultural workers and the urban middle class who stood to benefit the most from this. This resulted in a large-scale movement led by lower-castes to support abolition.

5 The Bhumihar zamindars knew that abolition was going to happen and planned to be on their terms for abolition. The Rajput-Kayastha zamindars, however, opposed this strongly.

6 In Bihar, therefore the opposition to the abolition of Zamindari came not only from the landlords but also from the lobby of Rajput-Kayastha, who followed delaying tactics in the passage of the Zamindari Abolition Bill.

7 The Bihar Abolition of Zamindari Act was finally passed by 1950

Option A is not the correct option because this abolishment did not happen on this year

Option B is incorrect because they were still discussing it in 1948.

Option C is correct because this bill was passed in 1950.

Option D is wrong because the bill was already passed.

Therefore, the correct answer is C
