The correct answer is B) a German immigrant searching for religious freedom and tolerance.

The individual that would have been MOST likely to settle in one of the Mid-Atlantic/Middle colonies is a German immigrant searching for religious freedom and tolerance.

Many European people left their native countries because they were being persecuted for religious differences. The Middle colonies offered the opportunity to start a new life where people could express with liberty and had no problem practicing their religious teachings. These colonies were not such as the Plymouth colony in Massachusetts where the Puritans followed strict religious principles to be accepted.
