B. They thought they were predestined to succeed.

Pilgrims were seeking religious refuge in the new world. They believed in the concept of predestination which means they believed that God had a plan for all people which humans had no control over. This belief in predestination convinced the Pilgrims they would be successful because God had planned their success.
