For information about the population of the Jamestown settlement in the 1600s, the best place for Terrence to look would be:

B. an almanac.

Almanacs often contain historical data, including population statistics and demographic information relevant to specific time periods. The other options, while potentially useful for different types of information, are less likely to provide the specific historical data that Terrence needs regarding the Jamestown settlement's population.
