Which of the following type of colonies was given permission by the British king to govern itself?

A. royal colony

B. proprietary colony

C. charter colony

D. indentured colony

The correct answer is B. proprietary colony

Proprietary colonies were colonies where the King's allies got a permission to take a piece of land for themselves and make it a colony in which they would be the supreme ruler. They had self-governance but had to adhere to British law. This was the king's way to have colonies without having to worry about them and to govern them.
