The Salzburgers were expelled from their home in the Catholic principality of which region?

Explanation:
The idea being tested is where the Salzburgers came from. They were expelled from the Archdiocese of Salzburg, a Catholic principality in the region of Salzburg, which is in present-day Austria. This Catholic authority ordered Protestant residents to leave in the early 1700s, pushing the Salzburgers to relocate to the British colony of Georgia. The other options are different places in the German-speaking lands (Vienna as a capital, Bavaria and Tyrol as separate regions), but they are not the homeland of the Salzburgers.
