How will you link agricultural expansion with the colonial economy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: More cultivation could mean more taxable land

Correct answer: B — more cultivation could mean more taxable land. The colonial economy depended partly on collecting revenue from cultivated land. When forests were cleared and converted into fields, the amount of land available for assessment could grow. This connected agricultural expansion with the state’s search for income. Cultivation could also produce crops for local consumption or commercial exchange, but the key point in this question is the revenue link. B is correct because it explains why the colonial state could encourage or support the expansion of cultivation. A is wrong because agriculture is directly dependent on land. C is wrong because clearing forests for fields reduced forest cover rather than being mainly a conservation measure. D is wrong because cultivation could generate land revenue for the government. Memory cue: colonial agriculture was linked to land, tax, and revenue.
