Answer 1

Answer:

B. The primary focus of the British administration was the maintenance of law and order and revenue collection, with little regard for rural development.

Development efforts made by the British Government

•During the British rule, Britishers were not concerned with the socio-economic development of India and thus our rural economy severely damages resulting in the miserable conditions of the rural people

•The primary concern of the administration was maintenance of law and order and collection of revenue, not the development

•Thus colonial interests were primary objectives and the rural development was secondary.
