Solution

The correct answer is A. Jamestown was not a success until the settlers grew tobacco. Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in the Americas, founded in 1607 in Virginia. It struggled in its early years due to disease, conflict with Native Americans, and lack of profitable exports. However, the colony began to prosper when John Rolfe introduced a strain of tobacco that was popular in England, turning Jamestown into a profitable venture.
