Final answer:

The correct option is D). Marlow's crew in Joseph Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness' consists of The manager, Pilgrims (company's agents), and Natives, making the correct answer 'All of the above'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question refers to Marlow's crew in a piece of literature rather than a historical event. Since the query relates to characters in a narrative, it appears to be inspired by Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness rather than the historical voyage of the Mayflower.

In Conrad's novella, Marlow is a seaman and an ivory transporter for the Belgian Company in the Congo. His crew is a diverse group which indeed includes 'The manager', responsible for the overall operation of the company's trading posts, 'Pilgrims', who are the company's agents eager for commercial success and ivory, and 'Natives', who are indigenous Africans employed for the physical labor on the steamboat and in the company's service.

Based on the context provided by Conrad's work and the choices given in the multiple-choice question, the correct option is 'D) All of the above'. Marlow's crew consists of a blend of the European company employees and African natives, all serving different roles within the narrative.
