Answer 1

C. in Powhatan Confederacy territory.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first permanent settlement of the English immigrants in America was in the Colony of Virginia, called the Jamestown colony. This area was named after the James River, where the small island was situated.

The colony of Jamestown occupied land that belonged to the Powhatan Confederacy territory. And during the time the English settlers first arrived, the confederacy was under the leadership of the chief Wahunsenacawh, who is on the same level as the modern-day political leader.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
