The correct chronological sequence of revolts is: • (i) Sepoy Mutiny of Bengal (1764) • (iii) Sepoy Mutiny of Vellore (1806) • (ii) Kutch Revolt (1816–1832) • (v) Kol Revolt (1831–1832) • (iv) Santhal Revolt (1855–1856) Thus, the correct answer is (a). • The Bengal Sepoy Revolt (1764) occurred when Indian sepoys rebelled after the Battle of Buxar under British command. • The Vellore Sepoy Revolt (1806) was caused by British insensitivity towards Indian soldiers' religious and social customs. • The Kutch Revolt (1816–1832) was a regional resistance against British political and economic interference. • The Kol Revolt (1831–32) took place in the Chotanagpur plateau region, where tribal people rebelled against colonial policies. • The Santhal Revolt (1855–56) was a major tribal uprising against British exploitation and the oppressive zamindari system.
