The correct match is:
Virginia – Economic reasons
Virginia was founded primarily for economic reasons, particularly for the cultivation of tobacco and to seek wealth.
The other options do not accurately match the reasons for the colonies' founding:
- Maryland was founded for both political and religious reasons (specifically for Catholics seeking refuge).
- Pennsylvania was founded for religious reasons (not economic; it was established by Quakers).
- Georgia was founded for both social (a place for debtors) and military reasons (as a buffer against Spanish Florida), but not primarily for religious reasons.
