Answer 1

Answer: (D)

To fix the quantum of land held by a family.

Land ceiling refers to fix the quantum of land held by a family. In simple words, land ceiling can be defined as the process of fixing the maximum limit of land holdings that an individual can own. Ceiling on holding is not a solution for the problem of sub-division of holding.
