Answer:

D. All of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 17th century, the poor were slowly starting to out number the rich. There were several uprisings, so the use of racial division was "justified" as a means to an end for these wealthy white land owners. Due to the rising tobacco production, more and more slaves were needed, however most of them would leave the plantations after their contracts ended. Racial slavery was for life, thus further pushing this... I have no idea about B tbh, but I know both A and C are true, so it has to be D
