B is the correct option.

Explanation:

The Mormon church was founded by the Joseph smith. He claimed to have been visited by the Angel Moroni in 1827 and told him where he could find the golden plates which smith would translate and publish as book of Mormon. The Mormons were hated as Christians thought that the new religion was contemptible gibberish and also because they cut themselves off from the ordinary people. They moved to the salt lakes because they wanted to escape the non Mormons they despised which were called Gentiles.

this isn't a question and if you're going to list things be kind and use commas.
