All four statements (A), (B), (C), and (D) correctly explain why zamindars struggled to pay revenue under the Permanent Settlement. The initial revenue demands were deliberately set very high by the British (A). This coincided with a period of depressed agricultural prices in the 1790s (B), reducing the income of ryots and, consequently, zamindars. Furthermore, the revenue demand was fixed and had to be paid punctually on a specific date, irrespective of the actual harvest (C), leading to forfeiture of estates upon default. Lastly, the Permanent Settlement initially curtailed the zamindars' authority to collect rent from ryots and manage their traditional zamindari affairs (D), which further complicated their position. These factors combined created an unsustainable situation for many zamindars.
