The correct choice is: "Food shortages and conflicts with Native Americans."
Brief explanation:
- Jamestown suffered disease, malnutrition, and the "Starving Time" (winter 1609–1610) when many colonists died.
- Poor location, lack of skilled farmers, and irregular resupply worsened shortages.
- Relations with local Powhatan peoples were uneven and sometimes hostile, leading to raids and violence as well as intermittent trade and diplomacy.
