Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pennsylvania - Quakers.

During the mid-17th century in Lancashire, the Religious Society of Friends started as a movement. The members of this society were known as the Quakers; who used no scripture and believe in exceptional simplicity in everyday life and in devotion. In its initial face, the movement encountered strong opposition and persecution. Therefore, to provide a safe place for the practice of their faith, William Penn in 1682 founded the colony of Pennsylvania for Quakers.
