Which community name is found among those involved in the Bastar rebellion?

Muria Gonds

The Bastar rebellion involved several local forest communities, including the Muria Gonds. These communities depended on forests for cultivation, food, grazing, fuel, minor forest produce and cultural life. Colonial restrictions affected their customary access and created resentment. Identifying the communities involved is useful because the rebellion was rooted in the experiences of people living in Bastar, rather than in the actions of distant or unrelated historical groups.

Option A is correct because Muria Gonds were among the communities connected with Bastar's forest society and resistance. Vikings, Romans and Maya belong to other historical and geographical contexts and are not the local communities described in this event. The answer therefore follows from matching the rebellion with the regional social groups that depended on Bastar's forests and opposed restrictions imposed by colonial authorities.
