The correct answer is A. Spain.
The first step in finding the answer to this question is to narrow down the possibilities. The question asks about a European country that originally dominated what is now Florida and southern Georgia. To determine which country that is, we can look at the history of European colonization in this region.
Florida was first discovered by the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León in 1513. The Spanish quickly established a presence in the region, with various Spanish expeditions and settlements throughout the 16th century. St. Augustine, founded in 1565, is the oldest continuously occupied European settlement in what is now the continental United States.
On the other hand, both England and France also established colonies in North America during the 16th and 17th centuries. However, their focus and dominance were primarily in different regions. England's major colonial efforts were focused primarily in Virginia and New England, while France concentrated mostly in the areas of Quebec, the Great Lakes, and the Mississippi River Valley.
Portugal, on the other hand, had a significant colonial presence in areas such as Brazil, Africa, and Asia, but did not have a dominant presence in Florida or southern Georgia.
Therefore, based on historical records, we can conclude that the European country that originally dominated what is now Florida and southern Georgia is Spain.
