Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Intermarriage between English colonists and Native Americans in Virginia was very rare before being outlawed by the Virginia legislature in 1691. While there are some well-known examples of intermarriage, such as John Smith and Pocahontas, these were not common occurrences. Additionally, there is no evidence of a prevalence of mixed race Native Americans resulting from intermarriage, nor of a British royal family member becoming an Indian chief.
