Which of the following was not a reason for making the sepoys of the East India Company rebellious?

Explanation

Attempts by Company officials to spread Christianity, orders to sepoys to travel by ship, and the stoppage of allowances such as postal allowances, etc., became reasons that pushed the sepoys of the East India Company towards rebellion, which ultimately resulted in the Revolt of 1857. It is noteworthy that the incompetence of officers was not a cause, although ill-treatment by officers certainly aggravated the situation.
