The correct answer is E. Virginia and Maryland.
Explanation:
During colonial times, tobacco became one of the main crops, this occurred mainly in Delaware, North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland. However, this first began in Virginia and Maryland during the 17th century, indeed in Virginia, one English settler called John Raffle brought the first tobacco plant and soon there were huge plantations, not only in Virginia but also in Maryland. This can be explained as in these states the weather and land conditions were suitable for tobacco but not for other crops, also the demand in Europe and England for tobacco increased during this period.
