Wait a minute - I was thinking Plymouth. John Winthrop was one of the MA Bay colony governors when they moved from Gloucester to Boston.
William Bradford was governor of Plymouth Bay colony.

You are welcome.
To determine who became the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony among the given options, we need to find information about each individual's association with the colony and their political roles. Let's go through each option:
A. Roger Williams:
Roger Williams was a prominent Puritan theologian and significant figure in the early colonization of New England. However, he did not become the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He is famously known for founding the colony of Providence Plantations, which later became Rhode Island.
B. William Bradfords:
William Bradford was a Puritan leader and the governor of Plymouth Colony, a separate colony established by the Pilgrims. He was not the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
C. John Winthrop:
John Winthrop is the correct answer. He was a Puritan lawyer and one of the founders and early leaders of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Winthrop served as the colony's governor for multiple terms during the 1630s and 1640s. He played a significant role in shaping the colony's government and policies.
D. Arnold Hutchinson:
Arnold Hutchinson is not a well-known or historically significant figure in relation to the Massachusetts Bay Colony. It is unlikely that he became the governor of the colony.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. John Winthrop.
