Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rhode Island, is the right answer.

Roger Williams got into the trouble in Massachusetts Bay for two ideas. First, he preached about the separation of the state and Church. He believed in full Religious Freedom, thus no particular church should be subsidized by tax money. However, the Puritans of Massachusetts considered they had the one true faith; accordingly, such rumor was unbearable. Second, Williams challenged obtaining the land from the Native Americans without conventional amount was wrong.

Therefore, the Massachusetts Bay banished the minster. Roger Williams, then in the year 1636 bought land from the Narragansett Indians and established the colony of Rhode Island.
