The correct answer is:
(Choice C) The American colonists were attempting to repair their relationship with the British Crown rather than separate from it as late as 1775.
The Olive Branch Petition, sent by the Second Continental Congress to King George III in July 1775, was an attempt by the colonists to avoid a full-scale war and sought a peaceful resolution to their grievances. It demonstrated that the colonists were still hopeful for a reconciliation with Britain at that point in time.
