The correct answer is a) they were persecuted in England

Most of the Pilgrims that moved to America were members of a congregation in Scrooby, this congregation was being investigated by ecclesiastical members and because of that, they faced social hostility from other church members. Because of that, they moved to America in Plymouth Colony.
