To determine the author’s intention for writing the text, you would need to consider the content and focus of the text itself. However, based on the provided options and without specific content to analyze, it is possible to infer intentions.

If the text centers on details regarding the motivations, events, and context surrounding the establishment of Georgia, option b ("The author wanted to inform the reader about the history of settlement in Georgia and reasons for the settlement") would likely be the most accurate choice.

If the text discusses the perspectives and experiences of the English settlers specifically aiming to foster empathy or understanding, then option a might be appropriate. On the other hand, if it involves analyzing the differences between Spanish and English colonization, then option c could be correct. Lastly, if the text includes stories or anecdotes meant to entertain, option d would fit.

In sum, without the actual text for context, option b is a reasonable best guess if it deals with historical information.
