Answer: The colonists had to pay more money for land due to high taxes passed after the French & Indian War.
Explanation: The correct answer is A. The settlers had to pay more money for the land due to the high taxes approved after the French War and India, because this event was totally negative for the economic interests of both countries, since its high cost in weapons, ammunition and soldiers, in addition to the compensations that the English had to pay, the only way out of debt was to establish taxes on tea and create the famous Law of the bell. These taxes were charged to the settlers, a situation that generated discomfort among them.
