Correct Answer: 1878


Solution : The correct answer is 1878.

In 1878, the British colonial authorities enacted the Arms Act, prohibiting Indians from possessing firearms. This legislation was implemented as a precautionary measure to prevent a recurrence of uprisings like the one in 1857. The British administration aimed to curb the possession of rifles and pistols by Indians, fearing the potential for armed resistance and rebellion.
