Which feeling increased in rural areas due to forced recruitment during the First World War?

Correct answer: Dissatisfaction with government orders

The governing concept is wartime pressure and colonial rural discontent. During the First World War, the British administration needed more soldiers and used force or pressure to recruit men from villages. Families therefore faced insecurity and disruption, while resentment against official orders increased. Option A is correct because it captures this growing dissatisfaction; the other options contradict the historical response, since villagers did not celebrate British rule, demand higher revenue, or become uniformly indifferent.
