Why was expansion of cultivation profitable for the colonial government?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because cultivation could provide land revenue

The direct answer is option A: expansion of cultivation was profitable because it gave the colonial government land revenue. The government measured or controlled cultivated land and collected taxes from cultivators. Step by step: forests were cleared; the land was brought under crops; crops produced income for farmers; the administration demanded rent or land tax; this increased government revenue. Option A is correct because revenue was a major colonial motive. Option B is wrong because farming does not automatically make forests grow. Option C is wrong because cultivation did not close railways; railways often encouraged forest clearing. Option D is wrong because cultivation did not remove the need for ships. Exam cue: colonial rulers often valued cultivable land because it could be taxed.
