c. As a home for Dutch settlers

d. As a haven for African indentured servants

Answer 1

b. As a place to resettle people who had been in prison

Step-by-step explanation:

The original goal of the founders was to provide a place to resettle people who have been in prison and offer them a second chance in life. That colony would welcome ex-prisoners as well as debt-ridden people and poor persecuted protestants.

However, they changed their mind when came the moment to recruit colonists... and opted more for skilled workers and artisans.
