Answer 1

Option D i.e to get the resources they needed to survive is the correct answer.

There was population explosion in Greek due to population growth and migration. There began scarcity of farm land due to surplus population. So the Greeks began to colonise to get the resources for survival. The area of colonial establishment was dictated by the supply of resources. The development of the emporium or trading post was among the more important motivations for establishing a colony.
