Answer:

Option: a. they did not like anything that reminded them of the Catholic Church.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Puritans decided to separate as they saw too many Catholic practices and beliefs in the Anglican Church during the rule of King Charles I. They believed that there was a need to reform in the Church. Puritans were the members of a religious group known for its strict beliefs. They tried to reform the Church but could not, which led them to find a new religious group which could follow their beliefs without interfering from Church.
