What most helped the Jamestown colony develop its economy? A. uniting with the Powhatan and sharing resources
B. digging up the plentiful amount of gold in the area
C. breaking away from the control of King James
D. building plantations to grow tobacco

A

Explanation:

uniting with the Powhatan gave us immense resources and knowledge. We were able to trade more goods and services in return got food and more vastly enhanced resource. They also showed us how to plant and store crops as well as preserve meats, and how to hunt wild game in a more stealthy fashion. B is wrong, there was no gold when Jamestown was settled. C is semi-correct, we were sent to create a new colony by King James II. D is completely wrong, plantations didn't come about until the late 1700's early 1800's.
