Answer:

The correct answer is D. Roger Williams was banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony because he argued for the separation of church and state.

Step-by-step explanation:

Roger Williams was an English theologian. He became famous as a supporter of the separation between Church and State and the very first advocate of absolute freedom of thought and religious practice, for which he was expelled from Massachusetts Bay in 1636. He also advocated the establishment of more just relations with Native Americans. He was the founder of the colony of Rhode Island and the city of Providence. He was the founder of the first and second Baptist Church established in America and above all he was the first true father of the concept of the secular state.
