Show answer and solution

Answer: (A) Meerut

On 10 May 1857, sepoys at Meerut revolted, freed their imprisoned comrades and marched to Delhi, proclaiming Bahadur Shah Zafar as the leader. Mangal Pandey's act at Barrackpore in March 1857 was an earlier incident, but it was not the start of the general uprising. Jhansi and Lucknow joined later.
