Option:  b. generally worked the land using family labor.

Explanation:

The backcountry was different from the Coastal Plains. Towns were smaller, with fewer plantations. Southern farmers worked within their fields using family members. Life was hard in the backcountry, where children did small chores along with working in the fields with their father. Women and girls did housework work. Families grew vegetables, corn, wheat, potatoes and raised animals like chickens and cows.

every society, in order to meet the needs of it's people, has to answer three basic questions:

- what should we produce?

- how should we produce it?

- for whom should we produce it?

this questions must be answered in order to, option b, aid in production decisions.

every country can't produce everything, no matter how rich their land is. it may be a matter of technology, resources or geographical conditions. so, these three questions must be resolved in order to get the most of the production of each land.

hope this !
