The correct answer is B. The location and environment of the Middle Colonies allowed settlers to establish farms and grow grains.
The Middle Colonies was the name given to the middle part of the Thirteen Colonies, the colonies of the British Empire that later separated and established the United States, which lied between Virginia and New England.
The Middle Colonies had large areas of fertile soil, which made the area a major exporter of wheat and other cereals. The timber and shipbuilding industries also enjoyed prosperity in the Middle Colonies due to the abundance of forests in the area, and Pennsylvania achieved moderate success in the iron and textile industries.
Britain refused to stop seizing American ships that were trading with France.
