The correct answer is C. He wanted to create a place where he could practice his religion freely.

He understood the problem that the Quakers were facing in the society, both in the colonies and in Britain and he offered a solution which was to give him land big enough to house Quakers and make a colony where he would be the governor and owner of the land, and in return the Quakers would be able to live peacefully in this new colony.
