What best explains the beginning of slavery in virginia? a. the need for craftsmen b. the need for soldiers c. the need for field workers d. the need for gold miners

C. The need for field workers is the answer.

Virginia's chiefly exported crop was tobacco. Tobacco was a very labor intensive crop to grow, so Virginia needed slaves to satisfy the demand for it in Europe and England.
