Promotion of settled cultivation and restrictions on shifting cultivation show which colonial state interest?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Making tax collection and administrative control easier

Correct answer: D. Settled cultivation keeps fields and cultivators in more fixed locations, while shifting cultivation involves moving to new plots after a period of use. A colonial state generally found settled villages easier to survey, register and monitor. Fixed fields also made it simpler to assess and collect land revenue. Restrictions on shifting cultivation therefore were not explained only by concern for wildlife; they also reflected the wish to control land, labour and taxation more closely. Option D is correct. A is too narrow and ignores revenue and administration. B is wrong because restrictions reduced freedom. C is unrelated. Memory cue: fixed fields are easier for the state to measure, tax and supervise.
