Explanation:

The chart shows Georgia's population growth over time. During the transition from Trustee to royal colony, lifting the ban on slavery and ending land ownership restrictions (option C) encouraged settlement, driving population increase. Option A (peace with Indians) isn't the main driver. Option B (manufacturing center) is incorrect as Georgia was agrarian. Option D (French land expansion) is unrelated; Georgia’s growth came from internal policy changes like those in option C.

Answer:

C. the lifting of the ban on slavery and the end of restrictions on land ownership
