Solution

The correct options are
A
To transform India into an exporter of raw materials

D
To create a market in India for British manufactured goods

The motives of deindustrialising India were two-fold. First, it reduced India to an exporter of agricultural raw materials instead of exporting textiles. Secondly, it created a monopoly market in India for many British manufactured goods.
