Bandar log were scared of
A
Kaa
B
Rann
C
Bagheera
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Bandar Log are supporting antagonists in Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book. They are a treacherous group of monkeys who do not follow the Law of the Jungle, have no leader, and are considered outcasts of the Jungle and they only fear the large snake named Kaa.

Detailed explanation-2: -Kaa holds a disliking for Khan, seeing him as a hypocrite and believing the act of killing for pleasure-as opposed to survival-to be dishonorable. The two beasts are often at odds, though Shere Khan views Kaa as an “eyes and ears” of the jungle, relying on him to assist his search for Mowgli at one point in the film.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: They fear him so much because of his ability to look like a branch and to creep about noiselessly. No monkey knows how powerful he is or can even look him in the eye. After the monkeys run away in fear, Kaa helps break down a wall surrounding Mowgli.

Detailed explanation-4: -Kaa was ten meters long, heavy and strong. He went silently into the crowd of monkeys around Baloo, and he did not need to hit twice. When they are very young, monkeys are told about Kaa, the silent thief who can kill the strongest monkey. All monkeys are afraid of Kaa.

Detailed explanation-5: -Like in the literature and aforementioned portrayals, they kidnap Mowgli and bring him to their city. They are later defeated by Kaa’s hypnotic dancing.
