Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
An insurgency is a rebellion or uprising against an authority or government in power, typically involving the use of violent tactics. A revolution can also involve an armed resistance or uprising, but it can also refer to a more wide-ranging and fundamental change in social, political, and economic structures.
