Answer:

The correct answer is C. Oglethorpe's plan for the colony of Georgia was to give English debtors land to farm.

Explanation:

Oglethorpe was elected parliamentarian by Halesmere, a position from which he campaigned for the improvement of the conditions of people locked up in English prisons for debt. It was then that he also suggested that debtors newly released from prison should be sent as settlers to Georgia, where they would be given land to be able to carve out a future. The company secured government support in 1732, the year the first former prisoners with Oglethorpe himself came to Charlestown, in South Carolina, from where they headed to what would later be Savannah, the first British colony in Georgia. There, Oglethorpe personally negotiated the transfer of land with the Creek Indians and oversaw the construction of several strong defenses.
