The correct answer is **B. Colonists thought that it was unfair that they had no voice in Parliament.**
The phrase "No taxation without representation!" expressed the colonists' belief that they should not be taxed by a government in which they had no elected representatives. This sentiment was a key part of their grievances against British rule and contributed to the desire for independence.
