The correct answer is C. to build cities on what used to be farmland.
Dutch and English landowners forced peasants off the land primarily to convert agricultural land into urban areas and build cities. This was driven by the rapid growth of urban populations and the increasing demand for urban development. Cities offered more opportunities for economic growth, trade, and commerce. Expanding cities required more space, and landowners saw the potential for increased profits by selling or developing the land for urban purposes such as housing, industries, markets, and infrastructure. Consequently, peasants were forcibly displaced from their lands to make way for the expansion of cities and urbanization.
