Solution

The correct option is D Scorched-earth policy
Scorched-earth policy was a military strategy adopted by the Dutch during the Second World War. Dutch troops deliberately torched everything to destroy Javanese resources like wood, so that it would not fall into the hands of the Japanese, who also colonised Indonesia.
