The correct answer is C) They produced a crop that required a lot of land and made it hard to grow other crops.

The Jamestown colonists affected the local ecosystem in that they produced a crop that required a lot of land and made it hard to grow other crops.

Jamestown, Virginia, was the first English colony in North America. It was founded in 1607. It was John Rolfe, who brought some tobacco seeds from the Caribbean island of Trinidad and seeded them in Jamestown with so much success that tobacco became the king of crops in Virginia.
