Explanation:

Thomas Hooker believed in government based on free - consent. Extending voting rights beyond church members is an action that aligns with the idea of free - consent as it broadens the base of those who can participate in governance. Limiting property ownership to church members restricts rights, restricting trade has nothing to do with free - consent in governance, and asking the king to appoint a governor is not in line with the concept of self - governance based on free - consent.

Answer:

B. extended voting rights beyond church members
