B
Great Britain would have a large market in which to sell finished goods.
C
Great Britain would learn how to manufacture diverse goods from its colonists.
D
The colonies would provide safe ports for ships transporting goods.
E

Explanation

Colonies spread across different regions could supply Great Britain with a wider variety of raw materials, such as sugar, tobacco, and timber, and give it more people and places to buy finished goods. Their locations could also offer ports where trading ships could stop and take on or unload goods. Learning to manufacture goods from colonists was not the main benefit: Britain generally wanted the colonies to supply materials and buy British-made products.
