The correct answer is C. British settler
Step-by-step explanation:
In history, the term "British settler" refers to people from Great Britain that decided to leave their homeland and travel to the colonies of Great Britain especially to the territories in North America. This began in the 17th century with the creation of Jamestown Colony and that led to the creation of the thirteen colonies during the following years. British settlers differ from other types of conquistadors, settlers, traders, and missionaries because they depended mainly on agriculture or growing crops to survive. Also, they were the ones that created the headright system which was a system that determined the distribution of lands for growing crops in the colonies. Therefore, the description "I can use the headright system to acquire land..." refers to a British Settler.
