Correct answer: A. Dispute over share of produce
Explanation: The Tebhaga Movement was a struggle over how the harvest should be divided between sharecroppers and the jotedars or other landholders. Sharecroppers cultivated land but usually had to give a large part of the crop to the person who controlled the land. They demanded that two-thirds of the produce should remain with them, while only one-third would go to the jotedar. The demand was connected with the cultivators’ labour, insecurity, and opposition to unfair customary shares. It was therefore an agrarian movement about rights over agricultural produce, not a campaign about salt, military recruitment, or temple administration.
To solve the question, identify the issue directly involving both jotedars and sharecroppers. Their relationship was shaped by tenancy, cultivation, and the division of the harvest, so option A is correct. The famous demand for “tebhaga,” meaning two-thirds, makes the produce-sharing dispute especially clear. The other options belong to different historical contexts and do not explain the central demand of this Bengal movement. The supplied answer and supporting explanation are accurate.
