The correct answer is A) Founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
John Winthrop was governor and founder of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Along with this, Winthrop is well known for his "City Upon a Hill" speech. This speech, given before him and his followers arrived in Massachusetts, was focused on creating a religious society in which all other societies could model themselves after. Winthrop warned that dissent or disruptive behavior could ruin the perception of the new colony they were about to establish.
