Correct answer: It sent a petition to King George III and organized a boycott of British goods.
Significance: The First Continental Congress (1774) united representatives from most of the colonies to coordinate a collective response to the Intolerable (Coercive) Acts. It was important because it showed growing colonial unity, set up coordinated economic resistance through the Continental Association, and established a precedent for intercolonial cooperation that led to the Second Continental Congress and ultimately the American Revolution.
