Answer:

Option: C. the 17th century

Step-by-step explanation:

Jamestown became the first permanent English settlement in America, founded in 1607. The main reason for establishing a colony in America was for economic investment. In the 17th century, some of the European countries were sending settlers to the New World for generating wealth for the Empires. England also entered in the competition to increase wealth and power by expanding its empire in America.
