Explanation:

The Namdhari or Kuka Movement, a socio-religious reform movement within Sikhism, originated in the North-West corner of the Sikh kingdom, specifically in areas like Ludhiana and Ferozepur in Punjab. This region was geographically distant from the political and cultural centers of the Sikh Empire, which were associated with royal pomp and grandeur. The movement, founded by Baba Balak Singh and later led by Baba Ram Singh, sought to purify Sikhism and resisted British rule, often through non-cooperation and civil disobedience. Options B, C, and D are geographically incorrect for the origin of this movement.
