The explorers and the Puritans were the two main groups during the colonial period. Therefore, the writers during this time can be divided into those two groups. A famous Puritan writer is John Milton who is famous for his piece "Paradise Lost."

Answer:

b. the explorers and the Puritans.

Explanation:

During Puritanism, colonial writers produced non-fiction hymns, histories, poems, sermons and biographies with a religious focus and a simple style of writing. On the other hand, explorers like Columbus kept journals, narratives and letters to gain admiration and respect by the people back home upon their return.
