Your answer would be, B. Mechanical Weathering :)
The correct answer is C) They saw their lack of any losses as proof that they were destined to control the land.
The warfare between colonists and American Indians during the 17th century generated a sense of superiority among the colonists in that "they saw their lack of any losses as proof that they were destined to control the land."
Without a doubt, the white European colonies had much better weapons than the Native American Indian tribes. The Indians had disadvantages on this issue that affected the results in battles.
This created the wrong impression in the colonists that they were better prepared and deserved the right to control the land and domain the Native American Indians.
This, of course, generated a lot of resentment on the part of the Indians that saw how the white colonizers continued to take their lands to settle in and exploit the raw materials and natural resources.
I'm pretty sure it would be C.)Congress votes to increase the income tax, because that relates to stuff inside the nations borders.
The other options deal with stuff outside of the nations borders.
Hope this helps!
Because it's the way of the road.
