Solution

The correct options are
B food grains
C commercial farming
The Indonesians were forced to produce commercial crops, such as coffee, sugar, and spices, to be paid as tax to the Dutch. This regime was hard on the natives, because commercial farming created a shortage of food grains. This led to acute poverty and famines.
