Explanation: The correct statement regarding the revolt of 1857 is (d) There was a lack of essential unity and planning among the rebels.
The lack of essential unity and planning among the rebels was a significant factor that contributed to the failure of the revolt. The rebellion lacked a centralized leadership, coordinated strategy, and unified command structure. Internal divisions, regional rivalries, and differing objectives among the rebel forces weakened their ability to mount a sustained and coordinated challenge against the British.
Therefore, option (d) is the correct statement.
