The correct answer is B) a German immigrant searching for religious freedom and tolerance.
Explanation: The Mid-Atlantic colonies were known for their diversity and religious tolerance, attracting various groups, including German immigrants seeking freedom from religious persecution. In contrast, Puritans were more associated with New England, wealthy planters were drawn to the Southern colonies for agriculture, and women generally did not have the same property rights during that time.
