Why did the mormons under the leadership of brigham young migrate west to utah? the great salt lake provided them with plentiful access to fresh water. they were welcomed by the local indians to settle there. they were searching for an isolated place where they could ensure security and survival. they desired to purchase inexpensive and fertile farmlands?

The correct answer is third statement. Mormons (Church of Jesus Christ), under the leadership of Brigham Young, migrate west to Utah in July 1847. searching for an isolated place where they could ensure security and survival. Mormons moved west to escape religious discrimination and secure their lives after the murder of their founder and Prophet Joseph Smith in Illinois. The 24th of July is now celebrated as “Pioneer day” by Mormons to celebrate the day when they found their “Promised Land”.

yup! you are correct it is b.
