Answer: C. declare their right to approve laws passed by Parliament on behalf of the colonies.
Explanation:
The petition sent to King George III by the First Continental Congress on October 25, 1774, was meant to notify that despite their discontent with the Coercive Acts, Congress remained open to affirm its loyalty to the king as long as specific complaints of the colonies were revised.
This meant they were troubled with the lack of participation of the colonies in the approval of the Coercive Acts that were enforced on them.
The answer should be A. King George III by the first Continental Congress was to request king consider granting Independence to established colonies. Hope it helped!
