C: men and boys who hoped to find gold is your best answer

The Jamestown colony was essentially established to find gold and other valuable resources, and so many settlers spent more time looking for gold than building up the colony, leading to problems during the first few years. It was not until John Smith arrived that they started to have a survival chance, as Smith showed them how to survive.

hope this helps
