Hm - well without seeing your text, I can only go on what I know about Quakers. I believe A to be the best choice because Quakers welcomed other faiths and races. And they were not fighters, so their colonies were free of some of the conflict that the other colonies had. They befriended the natives.
Quakers were very humble so B & D do not fit.

So I believe A is the best choice.
