Explanation
Answer - C - The major crops grown in the Southern colonies were sold as exports.

Key Takeaway: The Southern colonies produced crops like tobacco, rice, and indigo, mainly for export to England.

The Middle Colonies produced grain, making themselves known as the “bread basket” of the colonies.
