Answer:

The colonists objected to the monopoly on tea and the import duty (tariff).  

Explanation:

In 1776, the United States gained independence by signing a declaration on July 4 that freed the 13 colonies from English rule.  England overcame France in the Seven Years War (1756 - 1763), but, faced with the high costs of maintaining the conquered territories, imposed a series of tributes on the American colony.  Among them, the Sugar Law (Stamp duty on sugar not coming from the English Antilles), Seal Law (all documents originating in the colony, such as contracts, newspapers and trades, would receive a seal from the English crown) and Law of the Tea (the settlers could only buy tea monopolized by the Company of the East Indies, of the English merchants).  Faced with all these laws, revolts have arisen. One of them, against the Tea Law, was the "Boston tea party."

Well, from among the choices given your answer is going to be B. This is because the British had been taxing people and taking tea and selling it. So everyone threw it overboard as a sign of rebellion.
