Answer 1

A. both had some groups that settled for religious reasons

This statement best describes a similarity between the Middle Colonies and the New England Colonies.

For example, the Puritans in New England and various religious groups in the Middle Colonies, such as Quakers and Mennonites, settled for religious reasons.
