Respuesta :

B: The first is run by an individual or family, the second by the king.

Answer:

B. The first is run by an individual or family, the second by the king.

Explanation:

In the British Empire, all land belonged to the ruler and it was his/her prerogative to divide. The ruler could divide them into four different types: Proprietary, Royal, Join Stock, Covenant.

With the Proprietary colony, the ruler offered to his/her friend's colonial charters which facilitated private investment and colonial self-government. It also made the King or Queen focus more on Britain itself.

On the other hand, a Royal Colony was a dependent territory under the administration of the United Kingdom's government. In such territories, residents do not elect members of the British Parliament and the governor is appointed by the Crown.
