The correct match for the colony and the reason it was founded is:
**Virginia - Economic reason.**
Virginia was primarily founded for economic reasons, particularly for the purpose of tobacco cultivation and trade.
For the other colonies:
- Georgia was founded for social and military reasons, including as a buffer against Spanish Florida and a place for debtors and the poor.
- Pennsylvania was founded for religious freedom, specifically as a refuge for Quakers.
- Maryland was founded for religious reasons, particularly as a haven for Catholics.
Thus, the only correct match in your options is Virginia with economic reasons.
