What was the main similarity between agricultural expansion and plantation expansion in relation to deforestation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Forest land was changed or cleared for both

Correct answer: A. Agricultural expansion means bringing more land under cultivation, while plantation expansion means extending areas devoted to a commercial crop. When these activities moved into forest regions, trees and natural vegetation could be cleared or the forest could be substantially altered. Thus, the common feature was conversion of forest land for cultivation or plantation use. A is correct because it states this shared land-use change. B is wrong because both activities are primarily land-based, not sea-based. C is wrong because expansion could reduce natural forest cover and put pressure on forest resources. D is the opposite of the historical relationship. Memory cue: different crops, same pressure—forest land is converted for production.
