Answer 1

C) Tobacco, rice, and indigo

Answer 2

C) tobacco, rice, and indigo

Step-by-step explanation:

These were some of the crops that were grown in the South. During the Antebellum period, the South relied on a number of "cash crops" (crops that were sold for cash, as opposed to crops for subsistence). These were grown in large plantations that employed slave labor, and represented the main source of wealth in the region.
