(a) Arya Samaj
(b) Central National Mohammedan Association
(c) Wahabis
(d) All India Muslim League
Ans: (c) Wahabis
Explanation: By 1857, the revivalist group which had developed a countrywide political organization, particularly from Delhi to Allahabad, was (c) Wahabis. The Wahabi movement, led by Syed Ahmed Barelvi, gained significant influence and support among Muslims in the northern regions of India during the mid-19th century. They aimed to reform and purify what they perceived as deviations from true Islamic teachings. The movement also played a role in the political landscape of the time, particularly during the events leading up to the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
