The correct answer is A. Farmers grew grains and other crops that they sold to other colonies.

The settlers of the middle colonies, which included New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, established an agricultural economy. They cultivated a variety of crops such as wheat, barley, oats, and rye. These crops were in high demand and were sold to other colonies and even exported to Europe. The fertile soil and favorable climate in the middle colonies allowed for successful farming and contributed to their economic development.
