Explanation:

Third statement is incorrect.
The major cause of all these civil rebellions taken as a whole was the rapid changes the British introduced in the economy, administration and land revenue system. These changes led to the disruption of the agrarian society, causing prolonged and wide spread suffering among its constituents.
The series of civil rebellions were often led by deposed rulers or their descendants, uprooted and impoverished zamindars, landlords and poligars (landed military magnates in South India) and ex-retainers and officials of the conquered Indian States. The backbone of the rebellions, their mass base and striking power came from the rack- rented peasants, ruined artisans and demobilized soldiers.
Political religious movements like Faqir uprising and Sanyasi uprising were led by the religious mendicants whose religious practices couldn’t be und erstood by the British.
