Explanation:

The First Great Awakening was a religious revival in colonial America that challenged established church authority, leading to the rise of new, more accessible Protestant denominations that emphasized personal religious experience over rigid institutional structures. The incorrect options: it did not push believers back to Puritan roots (it moved away from formal Puritanism), it did not center on hostility toward Native Americans, and it was a religious revival, not a movement focused on reason over religious tolerance (that was the Enlightenment).

Answer:

It led to the growth of new Protestant denominations like Baptist and Methodist.
