The correct response is:
The English mostly came for religious reasons while many immigrants settled in New Netherland to gain wealth in the booming fur trade.
This option accurately reflects the primary motivations of settlers in both regions. The English colonies often attracted those seeking religious freedom (like the Puritans and Pilgrims), while New Netherland (primarily Dutch settlers) was more focused on commercial interests, such as participating in the lucrative fur trade.
