Answer 1

The statement that is NOT true about Georgia's transition to a royal colony is:

D. The trustees remained in control of Georgia's government.

After Georgia became a royal colony in 1752, the control of the colony shifted from the trustees to the British crown, meaning the trustees no longer had control over the government.
