The first permanent English colony in the new world is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Colony of Jamestown was the first permanent English colony in North America. It was founded in 1607. The charter for establishing the colony was given to the Virginia Company in 1606 by King James First of England. Most of the settlers of the new colony were soldiers, craftsmen, labourers, a tailor and barber. Captain John Smith was in charge of the expedition and administered the colony for two years with solid leadership. Only 60 of the total 500 colonialists survived as the colony was full of swamps and mosquitoes and there was no freshwater. The colonialists had to fight against famine, disease and Indians.

B. The first permanent English colony in the New World.

Explanation:

On May 14, 1607 Jamestown was established. On this day, the Virginia Company of England made a decision that would change the history for good. They decided to "sail to a new land" which was named Virginia, in the honor of "Elizabeth I, the Virgin Queen". This can be seen as the first permanent British settlement in the New World. These settlers were mostly artisans, craftsmen, soldiers, and some were labourers. But the settlement was not an easy task, as after eight months only 60 of the total 214 pioneers could survive. One such survivor was the famous explorer, Captain John Smith.
