The correct answer is **D. England would not allow the colonists to settle in the new land.**
After the 1763 Treaty of Paris, England gained significant territories in North America. However, to manage relations with Native Americans and prevent further conflicts, England issued the Proclamation of 1763, which prohibited colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains. This restriction frustrated many colonists who sought to expand and settle in the new territories, contributing to growing resentment toward British rule and ultimately fueling the desire for independence.
