Detailed Solution

All of these are the correct answers.
On the tea plantations, the employees were mistreated. Low pay was given to them. They lacked social mobility and had subpar housing. In order to maximise their profits, the tea planters would restore the wastelands where the labour force would have to rise in order to expand the plantation. The system of indentured labour was instituted by the planters to address this. Both domestic and foreign labourers were engaged on contract. There were two sorts of indentured labour systems: Arkatti and Sardari.
Hence, the correct answer is 4.
