What was the difference between protest methods in the Samin movement and the Kalang rebellion?

Correct answer: Samin was based on non cooperation and Kalang on open rebellion

Direct answer: Option A is correct. The Samin movement mainly used non-cooperation: followers refused to accept Dutch claims over their land, pay certain demands, or obey rules they considered unjust. The Kalang rebellion was more openly confrontational and involved direct resistance against colonial authority. Thus the difference is the method, not the existence of opposition. Option A correctly contrasts non-cooperation with open rebellion. Option B is wrong because both groups resisted colonial forest and land control. Option C is wrong because neither movement was merely tax collection; taxes were only one possible part of the wider conflict. Option D is irrelevant and factually wrong because these were land and forest struggles, not sea journeys. Remember: Samin means peaceful refusal and non-cooperation; Kalang means more direct revolt.
