  1. Taxation.
  2. Indentured servants.

Explanation
Answer: B - In 1676 Bacon’s Rebellion took place in Jamestown, leading to the reduced use of indentured servants. The armed uprising, led by Nathaniel Bacon against Virginia Governor William Berkeley, was a protest against the government’s lax policy toward Indians. Bacon organized a band of indentured servants, and they launched attacks on nearby Indian tribes as well as Jamestown, the colonial capitol. As a result, the use of indentured servants fell out of favor, and the colonial government strengthened its commitment to outright slavery.
