To provide refuge for the Quakers is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The colony of Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn. The colony was given as a land grant by the king Charles second as a payment to the debt which he owed to Penn's father. It was one of the largest grants in terms of area. It was named after Admiral Penn. Pennsylvania means Penn's woods. William Penn established a government that was based on religious freedom for the Quakers. The colony followed religious tolerance and hence attracted Germans and Scottish migrants. It also promoted good relations with the Native Americans. It also helped Philadelphia to become the most important city in thirteen colonies. The land on which Pennsylvania was founded was first claimed by the Swedes under Peter Minuit in 1638.
