Why were Samin people worried about land survey in Java?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Survey could strengthen state ownership and control

The direct answer is A: the survey could strengthen state ownership and control. A land survey measures and records land, its boundaries, and its claimed owner. When colonial authorities surveyed Java, they could place land into official state records and use those records to regulate access, collect revenue, and enforce forest laws. Samin people feared that such recording would weaken customary claims and make colonial control harder to challenge. A is correct because measurement was linked to legal ownership and administration. B is absurd and unrelated: a survey cannot create a sea. C is wrong because recording land did not automatically end taxes; colonial administration often used records to manage taxation. D is wrong because surveying did not immediately destroy teak. Remember: measure, record, claim, control.
