B
The Navigation Act of 1651 required that colonial goods be carried on English or colonial ships and funneled certain trade through England, which restricted who colonists could trade with and under what terms — limiting economic freedom and potentially slowing colonial economic growth. A and C are false (it did not allow free trade or give control to colonists), and D is false (it did not encourage independent colonial navies).
