Clearing forests for cash crops shows which feature of the colonial economy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Production for market and export

The direct answer is B: production for the market and export. Cash crops are crops grown mainly for sale rather than primarily for the farmer’s own food. Examples can include crops such as indigo, cotton, tea, coffee, or rubber, depending on the region and period. Colonial governments and companies encouraged such production because these crops could earn revenue, supply industries, and enter overseas trade. Clearing forests for plantations therefore shows a market-oriented and export-oriented economy. Option B is correct. Option A is wrong because cash crops do not primarily express local self-sufficiency. Option C is wrong because clearing forests is the opposite of complete forest protection. Option D is wrong because agriculture continued, although its purpose and crop choices changed. Memory cue: cash crop means crop for cash, market, and often export.
