The correct answer is **D. The British were seeking to protect their established colonies from Spanish attacks.**
The Georgia Colony, founded in 1733, was established as a buffer between the British colonies in the Carolinas and Spanish Florida. One of the motivations for its founding was to provide a defensive barrier against potential Spanish incursions from the south.
