The correct answer to this question is D: to be a buffer between English colonies and the Spanish in Florida.

Further Explanation:

Georgia was founded in 1732 and was the first colony founded in five decades. This was surprising to many, but not when you consider the geopolitical arena of the time. King George of England was worried about the Spanish colony in modern-day Florida and allowed James Oglethorpe to create a colony in Georgia to act as a buffer between the cotton plantations in the Carolinas and England's enemy, Spain, in Florida.
