Question

why did william penn found the colony of pennsylvania?
to provide a refuge for english catholics
to create new trading markets
to provide a refuge for quakers
to work with the virginia company

Explanation:

William Penn was a Quaker, and he founded Pennsylvania to provide a safe haven (refuge) for Quakers who faced religious persecution. The option about English Catholics is incorrect (that was more related to Maryland's founding). Creating new trading markets wasn't the primary reason, and working with the Virginia Company is unrelated to Pennsylvania's founding.

Answer:

C. to provide a refuge for Quakers
