The correct answer is C) Dutch colonists were more interested in establishing trading posts than permanent settlements.

The factor that most differentiated Dutch and British colonists’ goals in North America is "Dutch colonists were more interested in establishing trading posts than permanent settlements."

The Dutch arrived at the Hudson bay and established trading posts in what today is Manhattan and Albany, New York. Their idea never was to settle in and formed colonies but to extensively trade fur with Native American Indians. It was in opposition to the English colonists that since the very beginning established colonies in the Atlantic Coast, such as the first one, Jamestown, in Virginia, in 1606.
