C Correct answer
Explanation

British colonial historians referred to the 1857 uprising as the 'Sepoy Mutiny' because it began with Indian soldiers (sepoys) in the British East India Company's army rebelling. This term reflects the colonial perspective of viewing it as a limited military mutiny rather than a full-scale independence movement. Other terms like 'Indian Revolution' or 'Halla Bol' are not historically documented names used by contemporary British sources.
