Answer:

The correct answer is A. William Penn founded Pennsylvania to provide a refuge for Quakers.

Explanation:

The province of Pennsylvania was one of thirteen English colonies in North America. It was founded by the English Quaker William Penn on March 4, 1681.

William Penn received the colony of King Charles II instead of paying a £16,000 debt owed by the Crown to his father, a naval hero, Admiral William Penn.  

The establishment of the colony solved the problem of the growth of the Religious Society of Friends or "Quaker" movement born in England, which caused some embarrassment to the Church of England established before. While still in England, Penn wrote the First Frame of Government, which described the government structure of the colony and promised certain rights to citizens.
