Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) The complete disruption of the old agrarian order of the tribal communities
During the 19th century the British revenue settlements, forest laws and commercial penetration shattered the traditional land relations, political authority and socio-cultural life of most tribes. This comprehensive disruption of the old agrarian order was the one constant background factor behind diverse tribal uprisings such as the Kol (1831-32), Santhal (1855-56) and Munda (1899-1900) revolts—hence option (d). Other factors like new taxes, missionaries or money-lenders were area-specific and not universally present.
