Answer:

Plantation Economy, is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The plantation was a term used to refer to the large farming estates suitable for the cultivation for cash crops.

The Southern colonies based themselves on agriculture (primarily on cash crops) with a massive population of slaves. Consequently, they formed the plantations, which shipped many agricultural products such as, tobacco, cotton, vegetables etc.
