What makes the unequal impact of deforestation on local society clear?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The state and commercial interests benefited, while local people faced a livelihood crisis

Deforestation and colonial forest policies brought revenue and raw materials to the state and commercial interests. In contrast, local communities dependent on forests lost access to fuel, fodder, food, cultivation-related resources, and income, harming their livelihoods. Thus, the gains and losses were distributed unequally. Option B states the opposite. Exam tip: mention the contrast—benefits for the state and trade, but livelihood losses for local people.
