Which best indicates the alliance of colonial state and market in deforestation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: State control and market demand for timber and crops rising together

The alliance of the colonial state and the market means that government power and commercial demand worked in the same direction. Colonial authorities took control of forests, changed customary rights, regulated access, and allowed selected areas to be used for profitable production. At the same time, traders, companies, railways, and plantations demanded large quantities of timber and land for crops. This combination placed strong pressure on forests and the people who depended on them.

Choice C expresses both parts of this relationship: state control and increasing market demand for timber and crops. The other choices describe either protection, complete rights, or the disappearance of forest use, none of which shows a state-market partnership causing deforestation. Therefore, C is the best answer because it links colonial policy with commercial exploitation rather than treating them as separate causes.
