Indentured servants were encroaching on American Indian lands.

Governor Berkeley tried to raise a militia to fight American Indians.
D
Jamestown suffered heavy damage in an attack by American Indians.

Explanation

Bacon’s Rebellion grew partly from conflict over Virginia’s frontier and the colonial government’s policies toward American Indians. Many former indentured servants and other settlers moved westward onto Native lands, increasing tensions and sparking demands for protection and retaliation. Therefore, “Indentured servants were encroaching on American Indian lands” is the correct choice.
