Answer:
d. diversification of the colony's economy
Explanation:
Jamestown was a small colony that was focused only around one thing when it came to making a profit, thus being totally economically dependent on one crop, or rather cash crop. The cash crop that was cultivated was the tobacco. Since the introduction of the tobacco in the Old World, it became very popular, and the demand for it was constantly on the rise, while also maintaining a very nice prize. This led to constant increase in production, thus more and more labor was also needed, and that was largely obtained by the slaves. While the tobacco was making a lot of profit, and brought lot of prosperity to Jamestown, still it made its economy very vulnerable in case of a bad year of the tobacco.
