Answer: C. starvation among the Indian people

Explanation: The cotton produced in India was taken to England where textiles were produced cheaply on machines, then returned to India. It ruined the Indian economy as the textile crafters could no longer compete.

Agricultural production shifted to crops that could be exported to England, and farms often did not produce enough food for the native population.
