Answer 1

A. Pink (far East, bordering the ocean and South Carolina)

Step-by-step explanation:

The territories of Georgia that were granted under the headright system were those located in the Eastern part of the state, bordering the ocean and South Carolina.

The main reason why is that the headright system was a policy of colonial America, and during the time Georgia was part of the thirteen colonies, most of its population clustered in the East (many of them were people coming from the Carolinas and Virginia).
