What was the effect of expansion of commercial crops on forests?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Deforestation increased

The direct answer is D: deforestation increased. Commercial crops are grown mainly for sale and profit, not merely for local food. Step by step, colonial traders and rulers wanted crops such as tea, coffee, rubber, indigo or cotton; land was required for their fields and plantations; forests were cleared to obtain that land; therefore forest area decreased and cutting increased. Option A is wrong because commercial cultivation did not immediately protect forests. Option B is irrelevant: crop expansion does not make snow increase. Option C is wrong because rivers do not close as a direct result of this process. Option D is correct because clearing trees for market-oriented cultivation is deforestation. Remember: commercial cultivation means market demand, and more cultivated land often means more forest clearing.
