Answer – c
- Jangalmahal is a district formed by British possessions and some independent chiefdoms lying between Birbhum, Bankura, Midnapore and the hilly country of Chota Nagpur in what is now the Indian state of West Bengal.

- Koteswara Rao, better known as Kishanji, killed in 2011, was the most-talked-about figure in West Bengal.
