C is the answer because, if you look back at the questions, the Lords Proprietor wanted to rule all of the colonies. So they tried to create a ruling elite.
I believe the answer is A. Correct me if i'm wrong :)
Historical context should be your answer
The Wade-Davis bill was made by the Republicans in the Senate after the Civil War. The government were setting up penalties for treason to rebellions before they swear back their oath back to the union. Under this bill includes:
1. Abolishment of slavery
2. 50% of the rebellious voters would swear oath to the Union
3. State officers will be elected after a constitutional convention
The closest answer is letter C.
