What is the strongest basis for placing the Samin movement under non-violent resistance?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It peacefully refused taxes, fines, and labour

Direct answer: Option B is correct. The Samin movement in Java is placed under non-violent resistance because its followers opposed colonial forest rules through peaceful refusal. They refused to pay taxes and fines and did not provide compulsory labour. The reasoning is: colonial authority demanded money, obedience and labour; the followers answered with non-cooperation rather than weapons or physical attacks; therefore this was resistance without violence. Option A is wrong because breaking forts with cannons would be armed violence, not peaceful resistance. Option B is correct because refusing taxes, fines and labour directly challenged unjust authority while avoiding violence. Option C is wrong because sinking ships is a violent act and is unrelated to the main Samin method. Option D is wrong because evacuating villages does not by itself describe the movement’s characteristic method of protest. Remember: peaceful refusal to obey an unjust demand is non-cooperation, a form of non-violent resistance.
