Answer:

B) a German immigrant searching for religious freedom and tolerance

Step-by-step explanation:

The Middle Colonies were the ones that were the most tolerant when it came to religion and ethnicity. They were something in between the New England and the South colonies. Because these colonies was tolerant to different groups of people, a German immigrant would most definitely seek to move into some of them in order to find religious freedom and tolerance. The South was much strict when ti come to religion and tradition, while the New England colonies were dominated by Puritans.
