Choices:

New England Colonies

Virginia Colony

The correct answer is B) Virginia colony.

Waterpower would most likely be harnessed for use and important to developing industries in the Virginia colony.

Jamestown, Virginia, was the first English colony founded in 1607, in the North America territory. Sponsored by the Virginia-London company, Many English people came to the Americas to get rich, so they had to make those lands productive.

The soil of these lands was very fertile. So waterpower would most likely be harnessed for use when John Rolfe brought tobacco seeds from the Caribbean Island of Trinidad. Rolfe grew tobacco crops in Virginia with a lot of success. Tobacco leaf was grayer and more bitter than the European leaf, so Virginia tobacco became a success.
