The correct answer is B. Sir Walter Raleigh, who introduced tobacco to England after bringing it back from the New World in the late 1580s. Raleigh's promotion of tobacco significantly increased its popularity in England, establishing a demand that influenced the colonial economy. Despite later criticism from King James I, tobacco became a major commodity in early American history.
