C. It had a high potential for profit.

Choice A. is incorrect because cotton does not "rule" if it is difficult to farm and causes all the more reasons for slaves to rebel against their slave owners. Choice B. is incorrect because while cotton was the sole crop, there were many others crops that were grown such as rice and indigo.
