Statement (A) : Bahadur Shah Zafar wrote letters to all the chiefs and rulers to organise a confederacy of Indian states to fight the British.
Statement (B) : Bahadur Shah Zafar's decision to bless the rebellion of 1857 changed the entire situation dramatically.
Answer: C
The key's answer is both (A) and (B) are true and (B) was ensured because of (A).
The NCERT chapter on the revolt of 1857 says that once the sepoys reached Delhi and persuaded Bahadur Shah Zafar to accept their leadership, he wrote letters to all the chiefs and rulers of the country to come forward and organise a confederacy of Indian states to fight the British. It also says that this single step taken by Bahadur Shah had great implications and changed the entire situation dramatically.
The key reads B as resting on A: the Emperor's blessing became decisive because he called on the rulers of the country to join, and smaller rulers and chieftains responded. The options calling one statement false are wrong, and option D wrongly says the two have no relationship.
