D.
Georgia was displeased by the Stamp Act but less affected by it than some colonies and less violent in its resistance even though some stamps were sold here.

Answer 1

D

Georgia was the least active in anti‑Stamp Act agitation — it was more dependent on Britain, had a strong royal presence, and saw less violent protest; some stamps were even sold there while resistance was far stronger in other colonies.
