The correct answer is: They established the city of Philadelphia.

The Quakers, led by William Penn, founded Pennsylvania as a place of religious freedom and tolerance. Philadelphia, which means "City of Brotherly Love," was established by the Quakers as a central hub for trade and a community based on their values of equality, peace, and brotherhood.
