Question

What aspect of the Commercial Revolution would bring discord between colonists and their mother countries?

There was a lack of a stock exchange in the colonial outpost.
All goods and raw materials were tightly regulated by the mother country.
Colonial farmers were taxed on goods they produced.
Colonists were not permitted to buy shares in joint-stock companies.

Answer 1

All goods and raw materials were tightly regulated by the mother country.

Explanation: Mercantilist policies—like the Navigation Acts—forced colonies to trade only with the mother country, limited colonial manufacturing, and diverted colonial wealth to the metropolis. These trade controls (and the taxes and monopolies that often accompanied them) bred resentment and economic friction between colonists and their mother countries.
