Which of the following offers the best definition of the phrase "headright system"?

Settlers were given money if they agreed to sell a portion of their crops to Britain.
Settlers were given land on which to build schools and other community buildings.

Answer 1

Am i right with A?

Answer 2

So headright system means to give 50 acres of land, so honestly yes. I do think it is A because back then you did need farms to grow your crops for food and obviously homes for shelter, especially during winter. Back then the pilgrims hardly had any and almost 100 of them died in a week. So I think you're correct.
