The correct answer is:

B. It took a while for the Continental Congress to decide whether they were fighting the British government for repeal of its new policies toward the colonies, or for complete independence from Britain.

Explanation:

<em>The American Revolution started as a protest to British policies</em>, mainly to the <em>Stamp Act of 1765</em>, where taxes where raised without representation and <u>the colonists, who saw themselves as Englishmen</u>, fought against these taxes with the allegation that they deserved the same rights as the Englishmen that lived in Britain; and formed <em>the Continental Congress to demand respect for their rights, while being loyal to the Crown</em>.

Colonists questioned if they should remained loyal or if they should seek independence, but it was until <em>Thomas Paine published Common Sense in 1776 </em>(a pamphlet that exposed the reasons why the 13 Colonies should be independent from Britain) when this question gained force and the <em>Continental Congress assigned Thomas Jefferson to write the Declaration of Independence</em>.
