What was the deepest relation between deforestation and colonial law?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Colonial laws curtailed local customary rights and placed forests under state control

Through forest laws, the colonial government established legal state control over forests. This restricted customary local uses such as shifting cultivation, grazing, fuel collection, and timber gathering, while making timber available for railways, shipbuilding, and trade. Option B is the opposite of the historical reality: these laws reduced rather than expanded local rights. Exam tip: link forest laws with state control and commercial exploitation.
