Answer 1

Answer:

Option: B. Protest British Taxation policies.

Explanation:

The actions written in this small passage tells us about the heroic acts by the colonist done against the taxation policies in the colonies.

The Boston Tea Party was a protest against taxation. After winning the Seven Years War, the British were in debt. To reduce it, the Parliament forced acts on the colonist. The colonists grew angered as they required to pay taxes. For revenge, the colonist called themselves The Sons of Liberty clothed as Indians climbed the docked ship at night and dumped 342 chests of tea in water.

The event rejoiced in colonies as settlers believed they taught a lesson to the British by forcing to pay taxes for them.
