Answer

people of all beliefs.
B
both Puritans and Separatists.
C
Puritans only.
D
Church of England members.

Explanation

The Puritans established the Massachusetts Bay Colony so they could practice their own form of Protestantism away from the Church of England. They did not create it as a haven for people of every belief; other religious groups, including dissenters, could face pressure or banishment. Therefore, the best answer is Puritans only.
