A) The new legal system and new land revenue policy introduced by the British.
B) The introduction of transferability of land.
C) The growing commercialization of agriculture.
D) Support of money-lending traditions, prevalent for a very long time.
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
The new legal system introduced by the British was costly and poor cultivators could not afford it. The introduction of transferability of land system enabled the money-lenders to take possession of the land of a cultivator. The growing commercialisation of agriculture also helped the money-lenders. The poor peasants were forced to sell their crops just after the harvest at whatever price they could get as they had to meet in time the demands of the Government, the landlord and the money-lender. Though money-lending traditions prevalent for a very long, were in favour of the peasants but the new system introduced by the British favoured the money- lenders against the peasants.
