C) reflected in part an effort by the British to exert their influence and control over the Dutch.

Explanation:

Even if the Charter of Liberties address the religious tolerance among the Protestants and other groups, this document was a way to control the Dutch, which was seen with distrust. According to this ordinance, the "New Yorkers", because of their position as original settlers, had the major rights, among other propositions to create restrictions to the Dutch population.
