Which buildings were targeted during the Bastar rebellion?

Correct answer: Police stations and government buildings

Direct answer: Option A is correct. During the Bastar rebellion, people opposed colonial rules that interfered with forest use, labour and customary rights. Police stations and government buildings represented the officials and institutions enforcing that control, so they became important targets. The reasoning is: colonial forest policies caused anger; government institutions enforced those policies; attacking those institutions expressed resistance to colonial authority. Option A is therefore the best answer. Option B is wrong because the rebellion was not directed only at temples. Option C is wrong because libraries were not the defining symbols of the colonial forest administration. Option D is wrong because hospitals were not the main administrative targets described in this context. The question asks about the typical symbols of power, not every place that might have existed in the area. Memory cue: in a colonial rebellion, official buildings often symbolise the system being resisted.
