Solution
The correct option is B Kalangas of Java
The Kalangs were a skilled community of woodcutters and shifting
cultivators. They were considered valuable due to their skills that were
required to harvest teak and engage in other construction activities. Their value can be gauged from the fact that when the Mataram kingdom of
Java split in 1755, the 6000 Kalang families were equally divided
between the kingdoms.
