Solution :
[c] Due to Civil War in America, the factories of England were lacking in supply of raw material. So, they encourage the plantation of cotton in Deccan. This led to commercialisation of agriculture. This has very positive impact initially that farmer started to earn cash. This was help of providing loan to farmers as the crop needed investment in start. Britisher gave instructions to moneylenders to provide the same to farmers. Now, once war was over, the Britisher again moved to cottons of America due to their superior quality, Farmers were unable to understand this and they continued cash crops.
