Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Indian Rebellion of 1857.

  • Mangal Pandey's hanging is linked to the Indian Rebellion of 1857. A soldier in the Bengal Native Infantry of the British East India Company, he is widely recognized as one of the key figures who ignited the uprising. 
  • His actions on March 29, 1857, in attacking British officers at Barrackpore are considered one of the early events leading to the larger uprising against British rule. He was later court-martialed and executed on April 8, 1857, for his role in inciting rebellion.
