Answer 1

The correct answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation: Settlers tended to go to New Netherland for the rumors of a better life, with lots of trade opportunities. On the other hand, English people were running from England to English colonies so they could have religion freedom, since they disagreed to the Church of England.
