Solution

The correct option is D Ryoti
There were two main methods of cultivating indigo - Nij and Ryoti. Under Nij cultivation, the planters produced indigo on land controlled by them or on land acquired or rented from Zamindars. Under the Ryoti cultivation system, planters forced the ryots (the farmers) to sign contracts with terms and conditions specified for the Indigo cultivation.
