Answer:

B. They used slave labor to plant and harvest crops

Step-by-step explanation:

Middle Colony farmers were near almost always very rich people, so seeing slave labor on farms was more probable than not. Since slaves had no salary they could make the most of their cash crops.

I hope this helped.
