Solution

The correct option is B Pilgrim Fathers
Christopher Columbus, a sailor of the Spanish Government, reached North America in 1492. The earlier colonies in America were established by people exiled to America from the King of England's religious persecution. They came to America in the seventeenth century on a ship called 'Mayflower'. They were known as the 'Pilgrim Fathers'.
