Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just like the settlers of the new world many immigrated for religious freedom. Mormons were persecuted because many saw their religion as bogus and unreal. After the death of Joseph Smith many fled from the northeast coast of America to Utah in hope of religious freedom.
