Answer:

The correct answer is C. Lord De la Warr received orders from the Governor of Jamestown to attack Native Americans.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the assassination of Governor Lord Ratcliffe, in an attack on the colony of Jamestown by Indians during the Second Anglo-Powhatan War, Lord De La Warr led a contingent of 150 men who landed at Jamestown, in the Virginia Colony on June 10 1610, just in time to persuade the settlers not to return to England. As a veteran of the English campaigns against the Irish, De La Warr employed "Irish tactics" against the Indians: the troops raided the Indian camps, burned the tents, burned the crops and stole the supplies.
