Explanation:
The statement that is true about the British colony of Jamestown is "It was seen by the British as their most immediately successful colony due to a rich economy based on tobacco."
In Jamestown, Virginia, a man called John Rolfe was the first to grow tobacco successfully in the American colonies. He brought some tobacco seeds from Trinidad in the Caribbean and started to cultivate tobacco. The success was immediate. The Virginia plantations produced so much tobacco to internal consumption and for exportation to England. The product was well accepted in Europe and for many years, the economy of the colony was based in growing tobacco.
