Answer:

The Answer is C: He was the official who first allowed 42 Jewish settlers to land in Gerogia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Catholicism and Judaism were forbidden by the Georgia charter. However, in July 1933 a group of 42 Jewish men and women arrived from Europe to Savannah. James Oglethorpe granted them permission to settle and to own land.
