Answer:

A). They were asked to leave the church and the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anne Hutchinson and Roger Williams were courageous Puritans who dared to disagree with the religious concepts preached in Massachusetts Bay Colony, a strictly Puritan region.

Anne Hutchinson disagreed that her behavior could change the destiny that God had prepared for her. While Roger Williams, he disagreed with the union between church and state, religious intolerance and the theft of indigenous lands.

The Puritans saw the two as major threats and wasted no time in banning them (Anne was arrested before the ban). As a result Williams bought land from the natives and formed the Rhode Island colony. Subsequently, Hutchinson joined this colony.
