Explanation:

Question 17

The headright system in Virginia granted 50 acres of land to individuals who paid their own passage to the colony.

In the fifteenth century, the Portuguese's main source of wealth from trading with Africa was slaves, as the trans - Atlantic slave trade was a major economic activity for them in Africa. Gold was also traded but slaves became a more significant source of wealth in the context of their African trade, and spices and cotton were not the primary wealth - generating products from Africa for the Portuguese at that time.

Answer:

C. 50
