Answer:

D. General Thomas Gage's decision to seize the gunpowder and firearms of Massachusetts colonists.

Explanation:

While being a military governor from 1774 and 1775, Thomas Gage ordered the march of the redcoats on Lexington and Concord, which main purpose was to catch the revolution leader, Samuel Adams. This led to the start of the American Revolution and Gage was replaced by Gen. Sir William Howe.
