The correct answer is shipbuilding and sail repair.

In colonial New England, the economy was characterized by activities suited to the region's resources and geography, which included shipbuilding and maritime activities. The other options, while relevant to the cultural and political aspects of colonial New England, do not specifically denote economic activities common in that region.
