Why were both policy and market important behind deforestation in colonial rule?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Policy gave control and market increased demand for timber and plantations

The direct answer is D: colonial policy gave the state control over forests, while markets increased demand for timber and plantations. Forest laws, reserved forests and official management restricted older community rights and directed resources toward government aims. At the same time, railway expansion, shipbuilding, construction and export crops made timber and plantation land valuable. Option D is correct because policy and market worked together. Option A is wrong because both directly affected forest ownership and use. Option B is wrong because commercial demand often encouraged clearing, not full protection. Option C is wrong because colonial policy was not made only for animals; it also served revenue, timber supply and control. Memory cue: policy controls access; market creates demand.
