Answer:

D. It promised indentured servants "freedom dues" and sometimes a plot of land.

Explanation:

The head right system basically meant that every person residing in Virgina near the 1610 would receive two 50 acres of land or 100 acres together, and every single new settler that came after that and paid for their passage would receive 50 acres of land to grow tobacco, in this understanding, many poor people got their passages paid for by rich people that would make them make a commitment on working for them for 5-10 years with the promise of eventually getting the portion of land they were granted when the came.
