On what basis can the impact of forest control on women and families in the Bastar rebellion be inferred?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: From reduced access to fuel, fodder, food and household forest produce
The governing concept is the social impact of forest regulation. Women and families commonly collected fuel, fodder, food and other forest produce, so restrictions increased the time, labour and difficulty required to meet household needs. This evidence supports option A. The other choices describe events unrelated to colonial forest policy and provide no reasonable basis for interpreting family experience during the Bastar rebellion.
