The correct answer is D) flax.
The option that was NOT a major product of New England was Flax.
Flax is a fiber crop. With great properties for digestion.
But the problem in the New England colonies was that the soil was rocky and was not fertile to have good crops. That is why some farmers had small land plots. People from New England had to find alternatives and they became very good limberjacks, shipbuilders, fishermen, and whalers.
