Answer:

Option: providing the home country with new markets.

Explanation:

Georgia was founded in 1732 by James Edward Oglethorpe after he received a charter to establish a colony. The settlers (debtors) given land to cultivate in the colony. The British interest was to increase trade and wealth for England. Georgia provides a market for the manufactured goods from England, which led to a trade policy in which colonies expected to supply raw materials to England. The English Crown expected the new colony to bring prosperity to England. The goal of mercantilism was for a balance of trade.
