Solution

The correct option is B Declining cottage industries
Most Indian indentured labourers came from regions which experienced drastic changes in the mid-nineteenth century. Declining cottage industries, rising land rents and clearing of land for mines and plantations had a negative impact on the lives of these labourers. They were forced to migrate to different countries like Sri Lanka and Africa.
