Explanation:
The Tana Bhagat Movement was a significant tribal uprising that began in 1914 among the Oraon people of Chota Nagpur, in present-day Jharkhand, India. It was primarily a socio-religious reform movement that advocated for a return to traditional Oraon religious practices, abstention from alcohol and meat, and resistance against the exploitation by zamindars (landlords) and the British colonial administration. The movement later aligned with Mahatma Gandhi's Non-Cooperation Movement. Options A, C, and D (1910, 1918, and 1922) are incorrect years for the commencement of this specific movement.
