The correct answer is C) Middle Plantation.

Before the location was renamed, the new capital moved to "Middle Plantation."

We are talking about the North American colonial times, in the Virginia colony. Established in 1632, the Middle Plantation was a territory located between the York and the James River. In times of Bacon Rebellion in 1675, the Middle Plantation became the second most important town after Jamestown. Later, in 1693, the College of William & Mary was founded here. And in 1699, this place became the capital of Virginia, after a fire burned down the capitol in Jamestown. Today, this place is Williamsburg, Virginia.
