Answer 1

Option: C. Pennsylvania

Explanation:

Shipbuilding began in Pennsylvania when William Penn establishes the colony with skilled Quaker artisans and maritime merchants, who escaped to practice religion and persecution in Britain. To seek economic opportunity they began building ships, which in 1682 led the colony as a great centre of ship construction and merchant houses. The abundant supply of woods in forests along with deposits of iron helped the settlers in Pennsylvania to engage into iron industry and shipbuilding.
