Answer:

D to avoid religious persecution

Step-by-step explanation:

The american colonies were a heaven of protection for those who were being persecuted in Europe for their religious beliefs, with the reform, the british empire converting to Anglicanism and so many strong laws against religious freedom people were immigrating to the american colonies in search for a place that allowed them to practice their religion freely.
