B. The name "Pilgrims" was quoted by historians from William Bradford.

Explanation:

The "Plymouth colony" was permanently established in Massachusetts by the English Puritans, which was later named as the Pilgrims. The Pilgrims group was contained in the group called Separatists which was guided by William Bradford. He was the Separatists religious leader.

The people of the Plymouth Separatists traveled to seek freedom to practise religion of their own choice. Hence, the name Pilgrims was coined for the part of the Separatists group which practised religion of their own choice and spread religion.
