The correct answer is A) Repayment of debt to France would be considered a hostile act to Britain.
France’s war with Britain impacted the U.S. in that repayment of war debts to France would be considered a hostile act to Britain.
After the Revolutionary War, the United States was in heavy debt for the many expenses to support the war effort. The US had a huge debt to the government of France. The French had spent almost $1 billion livres tournois, the currency of France in those years. France's finances were in red numbers. That is when the English Crown warned the United States that repayment of war debts to France would be considered a hostile act to the English monarchy.
