The correct answer is option A : worsening economic conditions in Virginia. Bacon's Rebellion was a response to worsening economic conditions in Virginia. The ruling elite in Virginia took steps to consolidate power and improve their image as a result of the rebellion.
Resentment had been growing among the smaller planters and landless tenants due to the favoritism shown by Governor Berkeley towards the wealthier residents. The declining price of tobacco, caused by the implementation of Navigation Acts and trade wars, further exacerbated the economic difficulties faced by the colonists.
Bacon and his followers believed that the governor's policies limited their economic opportunities and denied them access to land, leading them to rebellion.
As a result of Bacon's Rebellion, the ruling elite in Virginia took steps to consolidate power and improve their image. These steps included the restoration of property qualifications for voting, reducing taxes, and adopting a more aggressive Indian policy. They also encouraged a shift from indentured servitude to slavery to have fewer men competing for the available land.
