Answer: D) the Mid-Atlantic colonies

Explanation: The colonial region that had the distinction of being the MOST culturally diverse was the Mid-Atlantic colonies. The New England colonies were primarily settled by immigrants from England, as were the Southern colonies. On the other hand, the Mid-Atlantic colonies tended to attract settlers from all over Europe. There was no region known as the "Mid-Western" colonies, because that area was still unsettled frontier during this era

The correct answer is D. The mid-atlantic colonies

That is because these were the colonies that everyone entered when they entered the US and many stayed there. Many people who were from old settler families moved west and south while a new amount of immigrants still kept coming to the area, so it was very diverse.
