Answer 1

Answer: C-Settlers flocked to the area in hopes of cultivating tobacco and drove its American Indian inhabitants from their lands.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Virginia is poor in minerals but has an ideal climate for agriculture, settlers came in droves from Europe in hopes of growing tobacco in order to sell it to British merchants. As such, Native Americans were displaced from the area further beyond the borders of the Virginia colony as the number of tobacco plantations grew.
