Answer 1

D. Massive increase in British debt due to the war--> Increased enforcement of tariffs and taxes by the British in the colonies--> Smuggling of products by colonists to avoid taxes and tariffs despite economic prosperity.

This diagram illustrates the impact of the Treaty of Paris on growing tensions between colonists and the British government. The massive increase in British debt due to the war led to increased enforcement of tariffs and taxes by the British in the colonies. This, in turn, caused the colonists to engage in smuggling to avoid these taxes and tariffs, despite their economic prosperity. These tensions over taxation and trade policies eventually culminated in the American Revolution.
