Answer
A
Oglethorpe released them from enslavement and forced labor.
B
Oglethorpe provided them with rum and tobacco for a cheap price.
C
Oglethorpe allowed them representation in the colonial government.
D
Oglethorpe made American Indian trade an important part of Georgia’s economy.

Explanation

Oglethorpe sought peaceful relations with nearby American Indian nations, especially the Creek, and made trade with them an important part of Georgia’s economy. He negotiated agreements that supported this trade; American Indians were not given representation in the colonial government, so choice C is incorrect.
