Answer:

C. the first representative government in the English colonies

Following the formation of the Great Charter in 1618 by the Virginia Company, the same company went ahead to establish the house of burgesses in 1619 which happened to be the first representative government in the English colonies.

This government was led by a crown-appointed Governor Sir George Yeardley(the first Governor of Virginia). It is also comprised of the advisory council and democratically-elected general assembly.

Hence, the correct answer is option C
