Southern colonies specialized primarily in farming, grain, and livestock.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Southern colonies which were based on farming were considered to be the best colonies for farming and for livestock because of the flat lands which were considered good for farming because of which the farmers could build large farms called plantations.

These colonies had hot, humid summers and mild winters which were perfect for a year round growing season. These colonies included Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina and Georgia.
