Answer 1

The event that marked an end to the period in the American colonies known as "salutary neglect" was the D. French & Indian War.

After the war, Britain sought to exert greater control over its colonies and increase revenue through taxation, leading to more direct governance and less leniency compared to the previous period of salutary neglect.
