Why is it insufficient to explain deforestation only through population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because colonial revenue policies, railways, shipbuilding, plantations, and market demand were also decisive

Deforestation was driven not only by population growth but also by colonial economic policies. Forests were cleared for revenue-producing agriculture, railway sleepers, shipbuilding timber, and tea, coffee, and rubber plantations. Therefore, option D is correct. Population pressure and agricultural expansion could contribute, but they were not the only causes. Exam tip: In questions on colonial forests, connect deforestation with revenue, transport, and commercial plantations.
