The correct answer is (c)speaking out against World War I

The act made those who spoke against participation in the World War seem like spies who were doing it out of the desire to actually help the Germans. This was in part because many of the people in the US were of German national heritage so there was a lot of fear that there were spies who supported Germany in secrecy. The people would be charged with things like espionage or treason or similar and be put to trial.

This made the American colonies have no legal measures that they can pursue to negotiate for their behalf within the government.

Thomas Jefferson was one of the figure that popularized this British Government's flaw. He stated in his writings that the only way for the colonists to erase this unfair taxation is through military's revolution.
