The answers to your questions are:

1. D Rhode Island – After being kicked out of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Roger Williams founded the colony of Rhode Island, which he established as a place of religious freedom.

2. A rocky soil – New England’s poor climate and rocky soil made it difficult for settlers to engage in large-scale plantation farming, which is why smaller farms were more common in the area.
