The correct answer is C) She was tried and forced out of Massachusetts when Anne Hutchinson questioned the teachings of some Puritan leaders. Anne Hutchinson was a Puritan spiritual adviser, but she developed a strong ideological contradiction to the Puritan clergy in Boston (area where Puritanism was very strong and was the "capital" city of Puritanism). This posed as an ideological threat to the Puritans. She was expelled out of Massachusetts and sent to a prison in the Bronx, New York.
