The correct response is: They stayed in the colony and continued their way of life.

After New Netherland was taken over by the English and became New York in 1664, many Dutch colonists remained in the area. While there were some changes in governance and certain English customs began to permeate the colony, a significant number of Dutch settlers continued to live and work in the region, maintaining much of their culture and way of life.
