The correct answer is C. The mid-Atlantic colony of Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn primarily because of his wish to found a logical, well-planned, religiously tolerant colony.

Explanation:

Penn intended to found a new colony in which there was complete religious freedom, unlike the other English colonies in North America in which, with the exception of Rhode Island, intolerance was the rule. For example, in Massachusetts, a bastion of Calvinist puritanism, the Quakers were persecuted by condemning them to banishment, mutilation and even the death penalty. The intolerance was such that it worked under the logic that if the Indians were eliminated by pagans or "savages", in the same way government had to proceed with those who maintain a religion outside the "official" dictated by it. In summary, a new colony in which everyone could worship, believe or think about religion as they saw fit, neither would slavery be practiced and would serve as a refuge for religious and indigenous persecuted people. This ideology was a novelty for its environment and time.
