Explanation
The matching of personalities to their respective regions during the 1857 Revolt is a standard historical fact. Shah Mal was a local leader from Baraut in Baghpat district, Uttar Pradesh, who organized the peasantry against British rule. Maulvi Ahmadullah Shah, known as the 'Lighthouse of Rebellion,' led the resistance in Faizabad. Rana Beni Madho Singh was a prominent taluqdar who spearheaded the uprising in the Baiswara region of Rae Bareli. Khan Bahadur Khan, a former government officer and descendant of the Rohilla chief, led the revolt in Bareilly, Rohilkhand. Therefore, the correct mapping is A-4 (Shah Mal - Baraut), B-3 (Maulvi Ahmadullah Shah - Faizabad), C-2 (Rana Beni Madho - Rae Bareli), and D-1 (Khan Bahadur Khan - Bareilly). This aligns with Option 3.
