What did the colonial government want to increase by converting pastures into cultivation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Revenue

The direct answer is C: the colonial government wanted to increase revenue. When pastures were converted into cultivated fields, the government could assess land and collect revenue from farming. The chain is: more cultivation created more taxable land; taxes or land revenue increased government income; therefore expansion of cultivation served a financial aim. Option C is correct. Option A is wrong because sea water is unrelated to converting land into farms. Option B is wrong because colonial forest and land policies generally reduced local freedom rather than increasing forest freedom. Option D is wrong because the policy was not designed to increase animal numbers without limit; in fact, loss of pasture often harmed pastoralism. Remember: colonial authorities often valued settled cultivation because it made land easier to measure and tax.
