Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
During the Quit India movement, the residents of Hunterganj were denied the right to pay Chaukidari Tax. Chowkidari Tax was collected from peasants in Bengal Presidency during British rule to provide funding to keep chowkidar in the hamlet. Farmers were required to pay a levy in 1907. The Secretary of State collected this levy, which was difficult for farmers to pay.
