Answer:
C. The Salem witch trials
Explanation:
In 1962, in Salem, a place considered to be puritan society, where the Puritans held the belief that, witches are evil and did not belong to the community. Based on the aforementioned, Puritans then advocate to hang the alleged "witches".
However, the basis at which they picked and concluded who the witches were, were not substantiated, as many women were accused of witches based on their economic status, as some were hanged because they were destitutes or homeless and had to beg for food.
Hence, the event that best exemplifies the intolerance present in the Puritan society of New England is The Salem witch trials.
