Rosario · Answer 2

I would say the correct option is A. the Netherlands, where they had sought religious freedom. The Pilgrims faced religious persecution in England, to begin with; but they fled to the tolerant Netherlands to escape the threat. However, after a certain time, they decided to proceed to the New World from the Netherlands, hoping they would be able to preserve their cultural identity and build new homes for themselves.
