The "wrong idea" that the ministers of the Massachusetts Bay Colony of preaching as part of the Puritan doctrine with Anne Hutchinson's accusation is that people can earn their way to salvation through good behavior. The answer is letter C. Anne stressed out the interpretation of the Puritan Church of having to gain salvation simply by following it without the real intention of what people can do. As a result, she was banished from where she lived.
