Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

Farmers were forced to grow opium, tea, sugar, coffee, and indigo.

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The Company exploited zamindars and they, in turn, demanded extra money from farmers. Therefore, the farmers became landless, and land became a commodity. The farmers could not pay tax for the land, so they would often borrow from money lenders. As a result, money lenders became more powerful. Farmers were also forced to grow opium, tea, sugar, coffee, and indigo which served as raw material for Europeans.
