Answer:

A. The colonists were incensed because they had to provide free housing for British troops.

Explanation:

A or D works, and I can give you reasons why either works. However, I believe the answer should be A in this case.

Incensed by definition is "enraged", and the colonists were rightly so to be enraged. The British Parliament forced British troops to stay within the homes of the American public mostly under the guise of "protecting them from Indian attacks. However, the colonists mostly believed that they were instead there to monitor the colonist's actions, and to take away their British citizen rights. Tensions continued to escalate as more British troops poured into the Americas, and the British government failed to change their ruling. The Quartering Act was soon repealed, but it had already prompted the start of an Independence.

Overfishing of salmon has caused populations of wild salmon to decline. To combat this decline, salmon are raised in hatcheries,

Tomtit [17]

The differences in the wild and hatcheries make it so the different salmon adapt differently and have different traits.

If salmon are split up into different habitats, one being in the wild and one being in captivity, they will eventually have different adaptations from each other and their offspring will develop traits that are better suited for their environment.

Wild salmon and salmon that are raised in captivity are going to be very different from each other. The salmon in captivity do not have to actively hunt for their food, be wary of certain predators, or may not want to reproduce.

Taking these factors into account, it is very possible that the salmon raised in captivity will have reduced reproductive success compared to the salmon that thrive in the wild. Along with this, they would most likely have many genetic differences from each other and other traits that better adapt to their living situations.
