The correct answer is D) its charter granted Virginia land across the continent.
An argument made by Virginia in support of colonial rights to cross the Ohio River was " its charter granted Virginia land across the continent."
Virginia colonists wanted to settle in the Ohio county because they wanted to trade furs with the Native American Indians. They created the Ohio Company of Virginia to purchase land in the region. It was supported by Britain and the Virginia colonist had an agreement with the Indians, but France claimed that the land was theirs. And this problem was part f the conflicts that led to the French and Indian War.
