Explanation
Answer: D - Australia and the U.S. state of Georgia share similar colonial histories, as both were originally penal colonies for Great Britain. Georgia was founded in 1732 as a place in which debtors could work off the money they owed in England. Australia was founded in 1788 to replace the pre-Revolutionary war natural resources and role in jurisprudence of the American colonies in the British Empire.
