The correct answer is A. James Oglethorpe founded Georgia to be a haven for debtors.

Explanation:

The colony of Georgia was formed in 1732 as the last of the Thirteen Colonies from largely uninhabited parts of Carolina and was named after George II. On November 17, 1732, the English adventurer James Oglethorpe drove with 120 comrades to Georgia to found the first British settlement in Georgia, with the purpose of establishing a place where British debtors could restart their lives, away from economic struggles. He and 114 colonists arrived on February 12, 1733 and founded the city of Savannah.

the exodus of these people from constantinople contributed to the revival of greek and roman studies, which led to the development of the renaissance in humanism and science. byzantine emigrants also brought to western europe the better preserved and accumulated knowledge of their own greek civilization
