The description that BEST describes why settlers would have chosen to migrate to the New World would be financial success and economic opportunity found in the new world.

Definitions:

New World:

Places that are in the Western Hemisphere of the world, this is specifically talking about places like the Americas.

Explanation:

The reason why "D). financial success and economic opportunity found in the new world" would be the correct answer because settlers wanted to migrate, or move, to a place which they could get things like jobs, and become successful, and the places in the New World (The Americas) is the perfect place for them.

The reason why they called it the "New World" is because they originally though that the world only had Europe, Asia, and Africa, they now refer to those places as "The Old World" The Americas had a lot of opportunities for people to get jobs, that's the reason why people wanted to migrate to the Americas because they wanted better job opportunities, which would help support them with their needs.

Another reason why settlers wanted to migrate to the New World is because it would give them financial success. This means that the people that migrate to the Americas would be financially stabled, meaning that they got enough money to keep the away fro heavy debt. These are the reasons why settlers chose to migrate to the New World.

Why the other answer choices are incorrect:

The reason why answer choice "A) the threat of overpopulation in England" is incorrect because:

This was NOT a reason why the settlers would have chosen to move to the New World. People during the time didn't really care about how many people were currently living in England, they just wanted a place where it's financially beneficial. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.

The reason why answer choice "B) too much religious freedom in Great Britain" is incorrect because:

This was NOT a reason why the settlers would have chosen to move to the New World. There was actually not so much freedom in religion in England, therefore the people, especially pilgrims, moved because they wanted more freedom to practice their religion. This statement would be incorrect because of the fact that there was actually not a lot of religious freedom. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.

The reason why answer choice "C) the threat of invasion due to the French Revolution " is incorrect because:

This was NOT a reason why the settlers would have chosen to move to the New World. Great Britain's military was pretty powerful during the time, so the people that were currently in Britain didn't worry about people invading Britain due to the French Revolution. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.
