What happened after the suppression of the Bastar rebellion?

Correct answer: Many people fled into forests and the movement was suppressed

The Bastar rebellion was a protest against colonial forest policies and the restrictions placed on local communities. British authorities used armed force to put down the movement. During the suppression, many people moved into the forests to escape troops and avoid arrest or violence. The rebellion therefore did not bring an immediate end to British rule or instantly restore all customary rights. The authorities succeeded in stopping the organised uprising at that time.

Option A is correct because it describes the immediate result: people fled into the forests while the movement was suppressed. Options B, C, and D make claims that did not follow from the event. British rule did not end, all forest rights were not immediately granted, and the rebellion did not close the entire railway system. The outcome shows the coercive power used by the colonial administration.
