Final answer:

The ultimate result of Bacon's Rebellion was the replacement of indentured servitude by slavery in the Southern Colonies. The correct answer is option: C) The practice of indentured servitude was replaced by slavery.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ultimate result of Bacon's Rebellion was: C) The practice of indentured servitude was replaced by slavery

After the rebellion, Virginia's leaders decided to rely more on slavery than indentured servitude. They believed that by doing so, they would have fewer men competing for the available land.

As a result, the slave population increased rapidly and the practice of indentured servitude was gradually replaced by slavery in the Southern Colonies. This shift from servitude to slavery helped to solidify the power of wealthy families and undermined the position of smaller planters.
