B) The English annexed the colony and the Dutch did not resist.

Explanation:

New Netherland was a colony set by the Dutch West India Company that aimed to gain profit from the fur trade. Soon a new town emerged that was called New Amsterdam. Soon the English were interested in the location and Charles II granted the land to the Duke of York even before owning it. Later, the English military went to New Amsterdam to take it officially. Governor Stuyvesant surrendered without a fight.
