D. Puritans

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Pilgrims were called Separatists in England because they wanted to separate from the Church of England (Anglican Church).

Step-by-step explanation:

They believed that the Church of England was too similar to the Catholic Church and wanted to create a new church that was based solely on the teachings of the Bible. In 1620, a group of Pilgrims sailed on the Mayflower to the New World to establish a new colony where they could practice their religion freely without persecution.
