Answer 1

C. the headright system and the land lottery

In the late 1700s and early 1800s, Georgia used the headright system and land lotteries as methods to distribute land. The headright system granted land based on the number of people in a household, while the land lottery allowed individuals to draw for plots of land in a random selection process.
