B. rice

Explanation:

In the 1700s, the Tidewater region in South Carolina and Georgia was especially well-suited for rice cultivation. This was most likely a consequence of the low-lying plains that are watered by the changing tides on local rivers. The area became very productive during these years, and the colonies saw the establishment of many settlers, particularly those that belonged to the English gentry.
