Final answer:

Georgia was established for military reasons, to protect British colonies from Spanish and French territories, and was also intended as a haven for the 'worthy poor' from England.

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the options provided, Georgia was the settlement that was established primarily for military reasons. This colony was founded as a buffer zone to protect the British colonies from Spanish Florida and the French territories in the Mississippi River valley. The founder of Georgia, James Oglethorpe, had dual objectives: to create a strategic military frontier and to offer a fresh start for England's "worthy poor," creating an alternative to debtor's prison.
