Explanation: The correct answer is (b) Telengana Movement.
The Telengana Movement, also known as the Telangana Rebellion, was a significant and long-lasting agitation that took place in the region of Telangana in present-day Andhra Pradesh, India, during the period of 1945-1947. The movement was primarily led by the Communist Party of India (CPI) and aimed to address the socio-economic issues faced by the peasants and landless laborers in the region.
The Telangana Movement sought to challenge the exploitative feudal system, demand land redistribution, and fight against the oppressive landlords and Nizam’s rule. It involved large-scale peasant uprisings, armed resistance, and a radical redistribution of land in some areas.
The Telangana Movement is often regarded as one of the most enduring and militant agitations of that period due to its sustained nature, strong mobilization of peasants, and armed struggles against oppressive forces.
Therefore, the correct answer is (b) Telengana Movement.
