The first option is the correct answer.
The Dutch extract raw materials from their colonies in the East Indies by using the natives as cheap labor.
According to history, the Dutch exploited the colony, its natural resources and Indonesia's labor force. They are very interested in gaining profit, thus forcing farmers to grow commercial crops for the local government and Dutch.
