The correct answer is B) They wanted to hang Adams and Hancock as traitors.

Samuel Adams and John Hancock were hiding from the British in Lexington because they wanted to hang Adams and Hancock as traitors.

On April 18, 1775, the British troops, better known as the red coats by the American colonists, entered the city of Lexington because they were looking for John Hancock and Samuel Adams. They also wanted to confiscate the weapons of the colonists in the city of Concord. That is when American colonist Paul Revere alerted Adams and Hancock and other Patriots to be ready to confront the red coats.
