The most accurate choice based on the context of Sir Francis Drake's career as a privateer would be:

**Choice C**: During the early Age of Exploration, England preferred to reap the rewards of the New World through piracy rather than by starting a colony of its own.

Drake was known for his privateering activities, which involved raiding Spanish ships and settlements for their riches, highlighting England's reliance on piracy before establishing a significant colonial presence.
