Final answer:

The passage is about the history of Charleston and colonial conflicts, not about the Charleston earthquake's impact on Florida; therefore, proposed subheadings do not fit the content.

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage provided does not describe the Charleston, South Carolina, earthquake and its impact on Florida; instead, it contains historical accounts of various incidents between Spanish Florida and the British which include the attack by James Moore in 1702, the Stono Rebellion, the war efforts by General James Oglethorpe, seismic activities including the information about the earthquake in Pakistan in 2005, and general historical facts about Charleston. Therefore, none of the proposed subheadings are accurate for the given paragraph. The content mainly focuses on the colonial confrontations and the history of Charleston rather than an earthquake and its effects in Florida.

Given this context, a better subheading might capture the essence of the colonial conflicts or the broader scope of history regarding Charleston. Therefore, an appropriate subheading could be 'Colonial Conflicts and the Strength of Charleston' or 'Charleston: A Seaport Against Adversaries'.
