Final answer:

The 'Lost Colony' landed on Roanoke Island in 1587, making it the correct answer to the student's question about the landing site of the colony composed of about 17 women, 9 children, and 90 men.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Lost Colony referred to in the question is the English settlement on Roanoke Island in 1587. This colony is known for its mysterious disappearance, which left few traces except for the word "Croatoan" carved into a post of the fort and "CRO" carved into a nearby tree. The settlement included about 17 women, 9 children, and 90 men, making it the correct answer (d) Roanoke Island. Bermuda is associated with the Sea Venture and its castaways who were bound for Virginia but ended up on the island in 1609, well after the Roanoke colony was established. The other options, Fiji, Tahiti, and the Galápagos Islands, have no connection to this particular group of English colonists.
