The correct answer is

a. colonists being kept barricaded in their palisade by local indians.

This was because there were issues between the two factions and a Native American died as a result of the problems, which resulted in the Natives stopping trade. It is believed that 75% of people died and there was even evidence of cannibalism at the time.
