Why did grain requisition create a legitimacy crisis in Bolshevik peasant relations?

Correct answer: Peasants felt the state was forcibly controlling their produce

During War Communism, the Bolshevik government requisitioned grain from peasants to feed the cities and the Red Army. The policy was intended to supply the revolution during civil war, but officials often took grain by force and did not provide a normal market reward. Peasants therefore had little incentive to produce a surplus and many viewed the state as another power extracting their livelihood. Resistance, concealment of grain and reduced production intensified food shortages and weakened cooperation with the government. This created a legitimacy crisis because a regime that claimed to rule in the interests of workers and peasants appeared coercive in the countryside. Option A is correct. The other choices do not describe the policy: it neither distributed banks, automatically restored Tsarism nor primarily involved sending peasants into foreign armies.
