Explanation:

First Question (Which colony was established as a second chance for debtors to the English government?):

To determine the colony established for English debtors, we recall colonial history. Georgia was founded by James Oglethorpe with the intent to provide a new start for debtors and poor people from England, while the other colonies (South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia) had different founding purposes (e.g., economic, tobacco cultivation).

In the Southern colonies, the majority of the population consisted of yeoman farmers (small landowners), indentured servants, and enslaved people. Plantation owners were a small elite, middle - class farmers/merchants were not the majority. So the majority belonged to the group of yeoman farmers, indentured servants, or slaves.

Answer:

B. Georgia
