Who among the following prominent historical figures spearheaded the rebellion against British rule in Jhansi during the Indian Revolt of 1857?

The correct option is Rani Lakshmibai.

Rani Lakshmibai, the Queen of the princely state of Jhansi, was one of the most prominent leaders of the Indian Revolt of 1857 (also known as the First War of Indian Independence).
Following the death of her husband, Maharaja Gangadhar Rao, the British East India Company refused to recognize her adopted son as the legitimate heir under the 'Doctrine of Lapse' policy and attempted to annex Jhansi. Rani Lakshmibai resisted British annexation and led the military rebellion in Jhansi with remarkable bravery, becoming a symbol of resistance against British colonial rule.
