Why is it incomplete to link agricultural expansion only with food production in the context of deforestation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because land revenue from cultivable land was also important to the colonial state

Colonial authorities promoted the clearing of forests for cultivation because cultivable land could generate regular land revenue. Therefore, agricultural expansion was not only about producing more food; it also increased state income. Option B is incorrect because railways increased, rather than removed, the demand for timber and pressure on forests. Exam tip: connect colonial forest policy with revenue and commercial interests, not food alone.
