Answer 2

Answer:

B) Their desire to reform the church of England.

Explanation:

The Puritans are a group of Protestant Christians during the 16th and 17th centuries who wanted to reform the Church of England from being too overtly Catholic and difficult for the Protestants to be involved. They wanted the reformation of the church from the Roman Catholic practices, and be more Protestant for the whole Christian believers.

The name "Puritan" is derived from the stand of the Protestant believers who believe and work towards reforming the Church from its majority Catholic practices. This desire to bring about changes in the Church so as to make it more Protestant friendly led to the many Puritanical establishments and colonies in the early settlements in America.
