Answer:
The correct response is Option 4: Rice.
Explanation:
Although the southern colonies of Georgia, South Carolina and the Cape Fear region of North Carolina initially exported largely dear pelts, by the 1740s the areas was producing a lot of rice. Indigo was produced in a close second. This was integral to the development of the plantation system that characterized the colonial economies of Georgia and South Carolina especially. The city of Charleston South Carolina became an important port for the export of rice during the colonial period and it is the wealth generated from this plantation crop that colors its history.
