Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

They did expect the colonists to find/produce natural resources that were marketable. (so A is wrong). However, they found no gold/failed at producing silk. (so C is wrong). There was a success in growing tobacco though! (so B is right). It gained popularity in places such as England, and due to that rise in desire for the product + the intensive labor the value increased.(so D is wrong).
