Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter c) Surviving as the first permanent English colony in North America

Explanation:

In April 1606, a letter was issued by King James I of Inflair to Virginia Company with the intention of establishing colonies in Virginia. The Virginia Company was a privately held holding company looking for economic opportunity. They expected to profit from mineral wealth such as gold and iron ore, timber and wood products, and other natural resources. In addition, the letter named two subsidiaries of the company, the Virginia Company of London and the Virginia Company of Plymouth. The Virginia Company of London established the colony in Jamestown. Thus Jamestown became the first permanent English settlement in North America.
