Answer:

The right choice is:

B. It maintained religious tolerance, peace with Indians, and a liberal government.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pennsylvania began as a land grant given by king Charles II to William Penn, an English Quaker, in 1861. Originally, it was a territory for Quaker colonization; they had left England because of religious intolerance. The colony turned into a safe haven for all those escaping religious bigotry - not only Quakers.
