3 slaves made up a large majority of the population in south carolina
4 georgia was originally established as a refuge for escaped slaves
5 disease spread easily in the southern colonies due to the warm climate

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each statement:

Statement 1:

Not all Southern colonies had royal governments (e.g., proprietary colonies existed). So this is False (F).

Statement 2:

John White’s Roanoke Colony was not permanent (it vanished, “the Lost Colony”). The first permanent English settlement was Jamestown. So this is False (F).

Statement 3:

In South Carolina, enslaved people made up a large majority of the population due to plantation economies. So this is True (T).

Statement 4:

Georgia was originally established as a refuge for debtors (not escaped slaves; later became a slave colony). So this is False (F).

Statement 5:

Diseases spread easily in Southern colonies due to warm, humid climates (ideal for disease vectors like mosquitoes). So this is True (T).
