Explanation

English colonists settled on Indigenous land and often asserted control over it, expecting Indigenous peoples to follow English colonial rules. This summarizes a common source of conflict in early New England. Choice B wrongly suggests Indigenous raids were driven by resentment of English farming success, while choice C is incorrect because Indigenous peoples sometimes helped colonists, including during periods of hardship.
