    Correct answer: B

    Gujarat was not untouched by 1857; uprisings occurred at places like Dahod, Anand, Okha and among the Bhils, so statement 1 is wrong. Mangal Pandey, Bahadur Shah Zafar and Rani Lakshmibai are central figures of the revolt, making statement 2 correct. Statement 3 is false because many native rulers, such as the Scindias and the Nizam, actually sided with the British.
