Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
According to historical records, at the time of the founding of the republic, approximately 80 percent of the non-Native American inhabitants of the 13 states were of European ancestry. This can be attributed to the fact that the colonies were primarily founded by European settlers, and for most of American history, European Americans have been the dominant ethnic group.
