Verified Answer :

c) The creation of Georgia took land that could have been used for expansion from South Carolina.

Answer:

The correct answer is C. The problem that the creation of the Colony of Georgia created for South Carolina was that it took land that could have been used for the expansion of South Carolina.

Explanation:

The creation of the Colony of Georgia, motivated by the impulse of James Oglethorpe, put a limit on the territorial expansion of South Carolina, since it was limited to the north by the territory of North Carolina. Therefore, Georgia put a total limit to the territorial ambitions of this colony, although on the other hand it protected it from possible Spanish attacks from Florida.
