<span>Many Americans viewed all of this as a blatant abuse of power by the British government. Once again a call went out for a colonial congress to sort out a response. On September 5, 1774 delegates appointed by the colonies met in Philadelphia for the First Continental Congress. Drawing upon the successful manner in which previous acts had been overturned the first thing Congress did was to organize a comprehensive embargo of trade with Britain. It then conveyed to the British government a list of grievances that demanded the repeal of thirteen acts of Parliament. All of the acts listed had been passed after 1763 as the delegates had agreed not to question British policies made prior to the conclusion of the Seven Years War. Despite all the problems it had created, the Tea Act was not on the list. The reason for this was that Congress decided not to protest British regulation of colonial trade under the Navigation Acts. In short, the delegates were saying to Parliament take us back to 1763 and all will be well.

I don't see any answers in the list that are fully correct.
Henry IV did not create the Estates General. That institution had developed already in medieval France, fell out of use, but then was revived during the latter half of the 16th century, a couple decades before Henry IV came to the throne.
Henry IV did not oppress the French people but sought to build roads and improve agriculture for the betterment of France and to build the loyalty of the people to his rule.
He did overthrow the previous ruler (Henry III), but not in "totalitarian fashion." After winning the "War of the Three Henrys" in order to become king, Henry sought to bring France to peace after religious warfare. He had been Protestant but converted to Catholicism for the sake of national peace, while at the same time extending legal protections to the Protestant minority.
Under Henry IV's rule, the central government did not control "almost every aspect of life." He worked hard to consolidate and centralize power for his government, but he was not yet what we would call an "absolute" ruler.
