In how much time did the British government suppress the Bastar rebellion?

Correct answer: In about three months

The direct answer is option B: the British suppressed the Bastar rebellion in about three months. To understand this, remember that the rebellion was a serious resistance by people affected by colonial forest policies, so it was not ended in a single day or a few days. The British used force and administrative action over a period of roughly three months. Option A, about one week, is too short and does not match the historical account. Option B is correct because the textbook gives the approximate period as three months. Option C, about ten years, is far too long for the suppression of this particular rebellion; it may confuse the event with a longer period of colonial forest control. Option D, about one day, is also impossible for such widespread resistance. The word “about” matters because the period is approximate, not an exact number of days. Memory cue: Bastar rebellion—suppressed in about three months.
