Respuesta :

D.Plymouth was founded as a refuge from religious persecution while Jamestown was found for commercial profit

The right answer is D. Plymouth was founded as a refuge from religious persecution while Jamestown was found for commercial profit. Plymouth was founded by Puritans refugee pilgrims, that wanted to build a christian commonwealth community different from the dominant Anglican church. The Virginia Company, a joint-stock company from England was a private organization created with the intention of producing profit from precious minerals and exotic products that could be found in North America. This company was responsible for organizing and financing, in 1607, the Jamestown foundation. In other words, Jamestown was found for commercial profit.
