The best answer is D. ii and iii only.
The South prior to the Civil War depended heavily on a large slave labor force (ii) and its economy was primarily based on agriculture (iii), particularly the cultivation of cash crops like cotton and tobacco. The South did not rely on a large immigrant labor force (i) or on manufacturing (iv) in the same way that the North did.
