How did global market shocks reach local society in a monoculture plantation economy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Dependence on one cash crop made income and employment unstable

The direct answer is A: dependence on one cash crop made income and employment unstable. In a monoculture plantation economy, most land and labour were used for one crop grown mainly for sale abroad. Step by step: first, farmers and workers depended on that crop for wages or earnings; second, world prices, foreign demand, war, transport problems or crop failure could reduce sales; third, plantation owners cut wages, jobs or production; finally, families had less income and sometimes less food. Thus a distant market shock entered village life through employment, prices and food security. Option A is correct because it connects one-crop dependence with unstable livelihood. B is wrong: monoculture does not mean many food crops; it often reduces food-crop diversity. C is wrong because exports directly shaped local work, prices and land use. D is wrong because plantations required large amounts of labour for planting, harvesting and processing. Memory cue: one cash crop means one major risk; always link cash income with food security.
