Based on the table and the common knowledge about the regions, the correct description of the colonies is:
**D. The Southern Colonies had much better soil than the New England Colonies.**
This statement is accurate as the Southern Colonies were known for their fertile soil, which was ideal for growing cash crops like tobacco and rice. In contrast, the soil in New England was generally less fertile and more rocky, making agriculture more challenging.
