Explanation:

The question is about the historical influence of religious groups in New England. The Puritans were known for their strict religious rules and had a significant initial influence in New England, but by the 1670s, their strict religious rules had less influence. Merchants and farmers are not a religious group with strict religious rules. Pilgrims had a different context and timeline, and Native Americans had their own distinct cultures and religions not associated with the strict religious rules over New England in this context.

Answer:

A. Puritans
