Why was land survey a threat for Samin people in Java?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it could tie land to state records and ownership claims

The direct answer is Option A: a land survey could tie land to state records and ownership claims. A survey is not merely a neutral measurement. When a colonial government measures land, maps it and enters it in official records, it can decide who is recognised as the owner, who may use the land and who must pay taxes or obey restrictions. Step by step: land is measured; boundaries are fixed; information is written into state records; the state uses those records to make legal claims; customary community rights may then be ignored. This threatened Samin people because their ideas about land and nature did not accept unlimited colonial ownership and control. Option A is correct because it explains how measurement can become a tool of authority. Option B is absurd and wrong: a survey cannot dry the sea. Option C is wrong because surveying does not turn teak into food; it concerns land information and control. Option D is wrong because official surveys could help impose or calculate obligations, not end all taxes. The exam cue is: map plus record can create administrative power over land.
