What was the role of the forest department in commercial forestry?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Control and management of forest resources

Correct answer: C, control and management of forest resources. In commercial forestry, the colonial government created or strengthened forest departments to survey forests, classify them, mark areas for cutting, supervise planting, and regulate access to forest products. This made forests an administrative and commercial concern of the state. A is wrong because teaching folk songs was not the department’s purpose. B is wrong because measuring seas belongs to maritime work, not forest administration. D is wrong because cotton is an agricultural crop and is unrelated to managing forests. The department could also enforce forest laws, so local people’s traditional access was often restricted. Memory cue: forest department means government control, rules, and timber management.
