the answer would be 3 aka “dirty water and bad food” because the Jamestown settlement was located in a swampland which a swamp has bad water (because it’s contaminated with salty water and dirty water plus mosquitoes and other things) and also the location of the settlement was in a very bad location for farming (again because of the swampland) which is the result of bad food.
