Answer:

Intolerable Acts (or Coercive Acts)

Explanation:

The Intolerable Acts were laws that were passed by the British Parliament after the Boston Tea Party. These were intended to punish the Massachusetts colonists for the Party.

The four acts were

1) The Boston Port Act: Closed the port of Boston until the colonists paid for the destroyed tea.

2) The Massachusetts Government Act: Took away Massachusetts' charter.

3) The Administration of Justice Act: Allowed the Royal governor to order trials of royal officials to take place in Great Britain if the defendant could not get a fair trial in Massachusetts.

4) Quartering Act: The colonies were required to provide housing for soldiers.

The correct answer is: 
the Intolerable Acts.

Explanation:
The Intolerable Acts were put into place by the British government after the American colonists destroyed millions of dollars of British tea in what is now known as the Boston Tea Party.
The Intolerable Acts punished colonists for their actions by closing the Boston Harbor, forcing colonists to quarter (aka house) soldiers, and allowing British officials to be tried in Britain rather than America.
