Which statement provides the BEST description of how mercantilism functioned in the early English colonies?

The English colonies were used as a source of food crops, tobacco, and raw materials for England; the colonies also served as a valuable market for English goods.

The geography of England made it difficult to produce agricultural goods like cotton, tobacco, fruit, and spices.

The policy appealed to England's upper class citizens because it eased overpopulation and reduced poverty and crime.

Mercantilism was a trade policy based on the idea that a country should sell more to other countries than it buys from them.
