Ronnie Yu · Answer 1

Option B, the farms of the South raised cash crops using a plantation system is the right answer.

The colonies of the South focused on agriculture (majorly on cash crops) with a large population of slaves. Hence, they developed plantations, which exported various cash crops including, cotton, tobacco, vegetables etc. On the other hand the Northerners focused more on industries instead of agriculture.
