The pilgrims decided to move to America despite the dangers because their lives were so bad in England because of religious persecution that it was worth the risk.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The period of the early and mid-1600's in Europe is looked back at as the worst time for the peaceful followers of the religion. The groups of Protestants and the Catholics both demanded the king to declare one true religion and impose it on the citizens.

The king refused to forcefully impose any religion on anyone. This resulted in the activities the Protestants persecuting the Catholics publicly and vice versa.
