    D) They were trying to solve a shortage of labor in the colonies.

    Explanation:

    The headright system was created by the Virginia Company to attract new laborers and workers to Virginia, so that they could work the land and populate the colony. As a result, newcomers were given fifty acres of land, and those who already lived there received one hundred acres, which were mostly used for tobacco plantations. Thus, the program lead to the arrival of families and servants, and to the creation of large manors and comunities.
