View question detailsColonial governments often encouraged or forced peasants to grow cash crops such as cotton, indigo, tea, or opium instead of food grains. A cash crop is mainly grown for sale, not for direct consumption. This changed the purpose of farming and made household food security weaker. It also connected village life to prices, traders, transport, taxes, and distant markets.
The correct choice is A because peasants had to sell part of their harvest to obtain money for taxes, rent, tools, or daily needs. If prices fell or the crop failed, they could face debt and hunger because they had less food grown for themselves. Choice B is opposite to the usual colonial tax pressure, while C and D do not describe the main process. The supplied answer is historically sound.
