The correct answer is:

B) The Trustees thought the slaves and alcohol would make the colonists lazy and not work hard.

The Trustees who established the colony of Georgia believed that allowing alcohol and slavery would undermine the work ethic they wanted to cultivate among the settlers, promoting a sense of self-sufficiency and hard work instead.
