Answer 1

Hint:
- The name Nizam, also spelled as Nezam, originates from Urdu, which itself is derived from the Arabic language which translates to "order" or "arrangement."
- Nizām-ul-mulk was the title used for the first time in Urdu around 1600 to mean the Administrator of the Kingdom.

Complete step by step solution:
Who?
The Nizams were the rulers of Hyderabad from the 18th to the 20th century.
Nizam of Hyderabad was the title of ruler of the Hyderabad State (as of 2019 split between the Telangana State, the Hyderabad-Karnataka District of Karnataka and the Maharashtra Marathwada Region).

What?
- At that time Nizam's government used to raise taxes in the form of 'Bambram' for grazing cattle and gathering firewood for cooking.
- Adivasies were fascinated and inspired by the message of Jal, Jangal, Jameen, of Komaram Bheem to oppose the tax and fight for tribal sovereignty and rights.
 - Komram Bheem, an activist gave this slogan to fight for tribal freedom & rights and opposed the tax charged by the Nizam government.
- Nearly 12 villages in Adilabad were ready to fight for their ground.
- Bheem has formed a guerrilla army with the young men of Gondu and Koya.
- He has assembled and trained tribal people to fight with firearms.
- Jodeghat became the focal position from where the guerrilla war began.
- Shocked by this war, Nizam tried to assault Adivasis.
- At last, on one full moon day, Komaram Bheem died in the war against the Nizam army in the Jodeghat forest.
- Following his death, Nizam appointed Haimendorf to do some research on tribal life.


Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Note:
During the Nizam’s reign, Hyderabad became extremely rich-thanks to the Golconda mines, which were at the time the only supplier of diamonds on the world market (apart from South African mines) making the 7th Nizam the richest individual in the world.
