Solution

The correct option is A Forest cutting
The Kalangs of Java were a community of skilled forest cutters and shifting cultivators. In 1755 when the Mataram kingdom of Java split, the 6,000 Kalang families were equally divided between the two kingdoms. Without their expertise, it would have been difficult to harvest teak and for the kings to build their palaces.
