Options:

  • A: It completely ignored the issue of rent reduction and focused only on forest rights.
  • B: It required tenants to prove continuous possession of Bakasht land for twelve years, which was virtually impossible due to the manipulation of land records by Zamindars.
  • C: It declared all tenant struggles illegal and authorized the use of military force against striking peasants.
  • D: It transferred all proprietary rights of the land to the British Crown instead of the actual cultivators.
