The correct answer is (Choice D) instituting slave codes to prevent further uprisings.
After the Stono Rebellion, English colonists implemented stricter laws, known as slave codes, to control enslaved people and prevent future rebellions. These codes included measures such as restricting movement, prohibiting gatherings, and increasing punishments for those who defied the laws.
