The correct answer is A) New England's dense forest made New England a prime location for the development of the lumber.
The statement that is TRUE of how a colony benefitted from its geographical location is "New England's dense forest made New England a prime location for the development of the lumber."
The Puritans that arrived at the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the Northeast coast of North America, had to take advantage of the dense forest to develop the lumber. It was an important part of its economy. Other economic activities that allowed the Puritans to prosper were fishing, ship-building, livestock, farming, and lumber. They had to wisely use the natural resources of the region because farming was difficult due to the rocky terrain.
