The correct answer to this question is C) proprietary colonies.
The English colonies of New York and New Jersey were originally proprietary colonies. Later these colonies became royal colonies.
In the 17th century, proprietary colonies directly belonged to the British Crown. The King of England gave some of these states to friends and family to rule, always under the direction of the crown of England. That being the case, the King gave New Netherlands to the Duke of York, his younger brother, and renamed New York. New Jersey was a proprietary colony after 1664 and became a royal colony in 1702.
