Answer: C. The Puritans weren't tolerant of other religions and followers of other religions were persecuted by the Puritans.

Puritans were generally not tolerant of other religions. They believed that their religion was the only one that truly followed God's commandments. Moreover, they believed it was their mission to spread and protect this religion from others, and that in this way, they purified the world. Moreover, they were often discriminatory towards other denominations, and people who were not Puritan were excluded from their communities.
