The correct answer is C) to make money from investors.

The Virginia Company wanted to establish dominion over Virginia to make money for investors.

The Virginia London Company was a joint-stock company chartered by the King of England, James I. This company was precisely the one that sponsored the trip of the English colonists to North America. They arrived in April 1607 and founded the colony of Jamestown, Virginia. The purpose of the company was to send people that could work the land and make a profit from it. They wanted to make money and get wealthy.

The main reason why the Virginia Company wanted to establish dominion over Virginia was to capitalize on the wildly lucrative tobacco harvesting that was taking place in the region--and maximize export profits
