Explanation:

• The Maxwell-Broomfield commission was set up by the British government to enquire into the increase in land revenue by the government in the Bardoli Satyagraha. It was set up in the wake of Bardoli Satyagraha. Hence option (c) is the correct answer.
• The commission came to the conclusion that the increase had been unjustified, and reduced the enhancement to 6.03 %. In addition, the peasants were returned their confiscated land.
• Bardoli Satyagraha: It was to protest against the increase in land revenue. It was by Vallabhbhai Patel at Bardoli, Gujarat. Under the leadership of Patel, the Bardoli peasants decided to refuse payments of the revised assessment until the Government appointed an independent tribunal or accepted the current amount as full payment. Those who opposed the movement had to face a social boycott. The outcome of the satyagraha was British Government setup Maxwell-Broomfield commission, reduced land Revenue to 6.03% and returned confiscated land back to farmers. In this struggle, Vallabhbhai Patel got the title of “Sardar” by local farmers of Bardoli.
