Why did both food crops and cash crops increase deforestation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Both needed more cultivable land

Correct answer: B — both needed more cultivable land. Food crops were grown to feed a growing population and support agricultural expansion, while cash crops were grown for sale, trade, or export. Although their purposes differed, both types of farming could require forest land to be cleared and converted into fields. B is correct because it identifies the common factor: the demand for cultivable land. A is wrong because these crops were cultivated on land, not in the sea. C is wrong because converting forests into fields reduces forest cover. D is wrong because cash crops were especially connected with markets, and food production was also shaped by economic demand. Memory cue: different crops, same land pressure.
