The reason why all but one settler left Charlesfort was that they believed they had been deserted by their leader. To find this answer, you can analyze the given options and eliminate the ones that are not relevant. In this case, the options "They ran out of food" and "The Indians killed more than half the settlers" can be eliminated because they do not mention anything about the leader. The remaining options are "They believed they had been deserted by their leader" and "They were homesick and wanted to return to Europe." Since only one settler remained, it is more likely that the others left because they believed their leader had deserted them rather than due to homesickness. Therefore, the correct answer is "They believed they had been deserted by their leader."
