The answer is A) Maryland.
Maryland was founded in 1632 by Cecil Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore, who was a Catholic. He wanted to create a colony where Catholics could practice their religion freely. The colony was named after Henrietta Maria, the Queen Consort of King Charles I and a Catholic herself.
The Maryland Toleration Act of 1649 was one of the first laws in the American colonies to guarantee religious freedom. The act allowed all Christians to worship freely, regardless of their denomination. This was a major step forward for religious freedom in the Americas.
The other colonies in the answer choices were not established specifically as safe havens for Catholics. Georgia was founded as a buffer colony between the Carolinas and Spanish Florida. South Carolina was founded as a commercial colony, and Virginia was founded as a land of opportunity for English settlers.
