Final answer:

The question probably concerns religious motivations for moving in early American history. The themes match historical examples like Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson but don’t directly address John Holbrook. So, the correct option is C) He had a disagreement with the town leaders.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question seems to refer to the factors that contributed to certain characters leaving or founding colonies in early American history, with a focus on religious reasons for their actions. The character of John Holbrook is not specifically addressed in the provided information, but the themes of religious freedom and disagreement with established religious practices are recurrent in the historical context of the period that the question seems to concern. For example, Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson were banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony due to their religious beliefs and disagreements with the town leaders (pointing to option C), and they sought religious freedom that led to the founding of new settlements like Rhode Island.

Similarly, the Pilgrims sought the new world for religious reasons and separated from the Church of England (related to option A, and also informing the nature of the question). Given the nature of the question and the provided information, it is likely that John Holbrook left Wethersfield due to dissatisfaction with religious practices or a disagreement with town leaders regarding religious matters.

So, the correct option is C) He had a disagreement with the town leaders.
