Answer: 5. none of the above (Jamestown was an immediate success)

Step-by-step explanation:

Jamestown was not an immediate success and was rife with difficulties from the time the settlers arrived. They had to contend with tensions between them and the Native Americans and there was a lack of food and proper sanitary conditions which led to diseases like dysentery and typhoid spreading amongst the settlers.

There was also a lack of money from the Virginia company. These factors and more led to the reduction in number of the colonists to a mere fraction until more supplies came in 1610.
