    The right answer is option A: The Captain William Penn was the founder of the American colony known as Pennsylvania. The Duke of York, later named James II of England, was in good terms with Penn up to such an extent that he protected Penn and named him a royal counselor. However, Penn wanted the three counties belonging to the Duke of York because he wanted access to the sea.
