Answer: Pennsylvania and Maryland were proprietary colonies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proprietary colonies were dominant type of settlement for three decades (1660-1690). During that period, people chosen by the British crown were given pieces of land in the New World to control and develop. All the land belonged to the monarch, and he/she had a right to further divide it. Proprietary colonies were Pennsylvania, Maryland, the Carolinas, the Jerseys, Maine, New Hampshire and New York.
