\nThe correct answer is C) Under the Mahalwari system, the agricultural lands belonged to the Government.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThis statement is incorrect. Under the Mahalwari system, the land revenue settlement was made with the village community (Mahal) as a whole or with the headman of the village on behalf of the community. The agricultural lands typically belonged to the villagers collectively or individually within the village, and the community was jointly responsible for the payment of revenue, although the government fixed the revenue for the entire Mahal. The land did not belong to the Government.
\n<\/section>\n
\nA) During the British rule, the three major land tenure systems were indeed Zamindari (or Permanent Settlement), Mahalwari, and Ryotwari.
\nB) Under the Zamindari system, the Zamindars were recognized as proprietors of the land and were responsible for collecting rent from the cultivators (ryots) and paying a fixed revenue to the British government.
\nD) Under the Ryotwari system, settlement was made directly with the individual cultivator (Ryot), who was recognized as the owner of the land and was directly responsible for the payment of land revenue to the government. This system gave Ryots permanent rights over land as long as they paid the revenue.
