The correct matching of the colony with the reason it was founded is:
Virginia - Economic reason
Virginia was primarily founded for economic reasons, particularly for the pursuit of wealth through the cultivation of tobacco.
The other matches provided are not correct as follows:
- Maryland was founded for religious reasons, specifically as a safe haven for Catholics.
- Georgia was founded for both social and economic reasons, including providing a place for debtors to start anew and for defense against Spanish Florida, but not primarily for religious reasons.
- Pennsylvania was founded for religious reasons, primarily by Quakers under William Penn seeking a place for religious freedom, not chiefly for economic reasons.
Therefore, the only correct response is Virginia - Economic reason.
