The economic activity that would be common in colonial New England is shipbuilding and sail repair. New England's geography and resources made these industries prominent, as they utilized the abundant timber available in the region and the coastal location for trade and fishing.

The other options, while relevant to the cultural and historical context of colonial New England, do not represent economic activities in the same way.
