Ans: (a) Kol uprising
Explanation: The rebellion that began in 1816 and lasted until 1832 is (a) Kol uprising.
The Kol uprising was a significant rebellion that took place in present-day Jharkhand, India, during the early 19th century. The uprising started in 1816 and continued for several years, until its suppression in 1832. The Kol tribe, predominantly inhabiting the Chhotanagpur region, rose in rebellion against the oppressive policies of the British East India Company. The Kols, led by their leaders and tribal chiefs, fought against the exploitation of their land, forced labor, and oppressive taxation. The rebellion was marked by sporadic acts of violence and resistance, as well as attempts to negotiate with the British authorities. However, it ultimately faced a brutal crackdown by the British, leading to its eventual suppression by 1832.
