Answer:

B. Debt from years of fighting wars

Explanation:

Fighting many expensive wars was the main cause for Britain's financial problems in the mid-1700s and their national debt.

The French and Indian War was especially costly, almost doubling Britain's debt. This led Britain to impose taxes on the colonists to get some money back.
