What was the most accurate effect of forced recruitment on rural society during the war?

Correct answer: Anger against the government increased among rural people

The governing concept is the social impact of colonial wartime mobilisation. The First World War increased the demand for soldiers, and recruitment pressure reached villages, often through coercive or highly intrusive methods. Families therefore experienced fear, disruption, and resentment toward the colonial administration. Option A is correct. The other choices contradict this response: peasants did not demand higher revenue, British popularity did not rise, and villages were not entirely outside politics.
