The correct answer should be

C. the diverse geography of the colonies encouraged different economic pursuits.

The differences were vast. In the south they had long growing seasons and warm climate so they grew things like cotton. Other colonies in the middle especially grew things like crops or tobacco which was in Virginia. Northern colonies that didn't have such a great climate dealt with logging and things like fishing and whaling. Everyone built around the climate.
