Option B is right that the to encourage people to settle in the colonies was the purpose of the Headright system.

Began in 1618 at Jamestown in Virginia, the Headright system was a method of granting the land legally. This system was created to attract immigrants and it was an attempt to solve scarcity of labor in Virginia, caused by the appearance of the tobacco economy. The Headrights were awarded to anyone who would agree to pay the shipping costs of the labor or slave. accordingly, colonists who were living in Virginia were given with two Headrights, and the migrated Colonists were awarded one Headright and the individuals received one Headright every time they paid for the journey of another individual. Plantation owners benefited from the Headright system when they met for the transportation of imported slaves. The increasing money amount required to bring bound slaves to the colonies and this contributed to the shift towards slavery in the colonies.

Answer: hopefully this helps you. I can’t find any research on it here’s some stuff abou Bantu

Explanation: The Bantu expansion is a hypothesis of major series of migrations of the original Proto-Bantu-speaking group,[3][4] which spread from an original nucleus around West-Central Africa across much of sub-Saharan Africa. In the process, the Proto-Bantu-speaking settlers displaced or absorbed pre-existing hunter-gatherer and pastoralist groups that they encountered.The primary evidence for this expansion is linguistic – a great many of the languages which are spoken across Sub-Equatorial Africa are remarkably similar to each other, suggesting the common cultural origin of their original speakers. The linguistic core of the Bantu languages, which comprise a branch of the Atlantic-Congo language family, was located in the southern regions of Cameroon. However, attempts to trace the exact route of the expansion, to correlate it with archaeological evidence and genetic evidence, have not been conclusive; thus although the expansion is widely accepted as having taken place, many aspects of it remain in doubt or are highly contested.[5]The expansion is believed to have taken place in at least two waves, between about 3,000 and 2,000 years ago (approximately 1,000 BC to AD 1). Linguistic analysis suggests that the expansion proceeded in two directions: the first went across or along the Northern border of the Congo forest region (towards East Africa),[6] and the second – and possibly others – went south along the African coast into Gabon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Angola, or inland along the many south-to-north flowing rivers of the Congo River system. The expansion reached South Africa, probably as early as AD 300.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
