South Carolina’s physical geography and climate produced cash crops such as indigo, rice, and tobacco to trade as raw materials.

This response is accurate because South Carolina's warm climate and fertile soil were conducive to the cultivation of these valuable cash crops, which were in high demand in Europe during the mercantilist period. The state's geography, with its access to rivers and the coast, facilitated the transportation of these goods for trade with Great Britain and other markets.
