The joint-stock company, in which individuals invested and profited in proportion to the number or shares purchased, was the principal instrument of England's overseas expansion. The first permanent English colony in the New World was the Virginia Colony at Jamestown.
They saw that Germany as the greatest threat.

Let's take a look at the available options and see what makes sense and what doesn't given our knowledge of Sikhism, Hinduism, and Islam.
A) belief in a single god.
* Islam believes in a single God. So this is obviously not the correct answer.
B) belief in religious equality of all people.
* Not entirely certain about this option. My first impression is that it's the correct answer simply because the radical believers in Islam seem so focused on the "non-believers" needing to be converted, or killed. So I did a quick google search on Sikhism and its tenets. And immediately found the following "Somewhat unique among the world's religions, Sikhism rejects the notion that any religion, even theirs, holds a monopoly on ultimate spiritual truth." So this is definitely the correct answer.
C) belief in existence of a single founder of the religion.
* Islam believes in the founder being Muhammad. So this is also not the correct answer.
D) belief in the rebirth of souls after death.
* Islam believes in an after life and Hinduism believes in reincarnation. So this is also a bad choice.</span>
