Apologies for the repetition in the options. Let me clarify the correct answer.
The correct answer is:
Land ownership was expanded to encourage the establishment of large plantations.
During the royal period, land ownership was expanded to encourage the establishment of large plantations.
To determine the best answer choice, we need to analyze each option and eliminate the incorrect ones based on historical knowledge.
Option 1: "Land ownership was very limited to prevent the establishment of a planter class."
This statement suggests that land ownership was restricted to prevent the formation of a class of prosperous landowners. This is a plausible statement as it was commonly practiced during various periods. We will keep this option under consideration for now.
Option 2: "Land ownership was expanded to encourage the establishment of large plantations."
This statement suggests that land ownership was encouraged in order to facilitate the development of large-scale plantations. This contradicts the commonly known practices during the royal period, where the emphasis was more on control and limited ownership. Therefore, we can eliminate this option.
Option 3: "Land ownership was considered illegal during the royal period."
This statement claims that land ownership was not allowed during the royal period. This is unlikely to be the case as some form of land ownership existed in most societies, even if it was restricted. Hence, we can eliminate this option.
Option 4: "Land ownership was only granted through inheritance."
This statement implies that land ownership was exclusively transferred through inheritance and not through any other means. While inheritance could have been a part of land ownership policies, it is improbable that inheritance was the only way of acquiring land. We can eliminate this option as well.
After reviewing the available options, the selected answer is: "Land ownership was very limited to prevent the establishment of a planter class." This choice aligns with historical knowledge and common practices during the royal period, where the concentration of land ownership was often restricted to prevent the accumulation of wealth and power among a few individuals.
