Answer 2

C. presence of British soldiers in the colonies

Answer 3

Yes, I am confident that the enforcement of the Navigation Acts was the effect of the French and Indian War that most contributed to smuggling in the colonies. The Navigation Acts were a key economic policy implemented by Britain to control colonial trade and ensure that it benefitted the British empire. The strict enforcement of these acts restricted colonial trade options and made it difficult for the colonists to engage in free trade. As a result, smuggling became a prevalent practice as a way for colonists to bypass these restrictions and trade with other countries.
