The Revenue Act of 1767, also referred to as the Townshend Duties, taxed glass, lead, paint, paper, and tea coming into the Anglo-American colonies. That year, wealthy landowners in Britain had used their political influence to cut their taxes by a fourth, causing a massive deficit in the British treasury. Chancellor Charles Townshend made up for this deficit via the Revenue Act.
In reality, the duties brought in very little revenue, with the exception of the taxes on tea. All they really did was provoke the colonists. Assemblies all over the colonies denounced the Act, calling for its repeal. Yet another boycott of British goods was enacted, which motivated merchants in Britain to push for the repeal of the Act as well. All this tension led to violence in the colonies, culminating in the Boston Massacre in March 1770. Parliament relented and repealed most of the Townshend Duties.

The question is incomplete without the image of satellite map of New Zealand.
Let's consider the description of each New Zealand physical features in the options:
The Northern Peninsula:
A peninsular is a piece of land that has its border mostly surrounded by water. The northern peninsular in New Zealand is located in the far north of the northern North Island.
This goes in line with option 2 (is a peninsula along the northern section of the island)
The Southern Alps:
It is a mountain range that extends along most of the length of New Zealand's South Island. It reaches its greatest elevations near the range's western side.
This goes in line with option 1 (is a mountain area along the western coast). Since this is the description of option 1, the physical feature is the southern alps
The Canterbury Plains:
It is a lowland area of east-central South Island in New Zealand.
This goes along option 4 (is a flat area along the southeast coast)
The Eastern Hills:
This is ruled out as the name implies a hill. A hill is an area of land that extends above surrounding land.
The Eastern Hills tracks extends from the Bus Barn in Eastbourne to Upper Hutt.
