B Correct answer
Explanation

The Naxalite movement originated in 1967 in Naxalbari, a village in West Bengal's Darjeeling district, when peasants led by local communists revolted against landlords. The movement takes its name from Naxalbari. It was a peasant uprising that inspired similar movements across India and evolved into the ongoing Maoist insurgency. Jalpaiguri is a neighboring district, and 'Naxalbazar' is a fabricated option.
