Answer 1

The colony of Georgia was established to serve as a military protective zone between the English colonies and the Spanish settlement in Florida.

Answer 2

D) A military protective zone between the English colonies and the Spanish settlements in Florida is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

There were various reasons for settlement of the colony of Georgia. Charity was the first reason as King George Second needed a place to keep his prisoners because the jails in UK were overfilled with prisoners. Economic reason was that great Britain wanted to use the resources and export the raw materials from Georgia. But their main motive was to use it as a buffer colony for protecting South Carolina. The Spanish controlled Florida and English were afraid of their attacks.
