I don’t have the passage text — could you paste it? I can’t determine the author’s claim without seeing the actual wording.
If you want a quick guess based on the choice options: the strongest central claim that the other statements would support is
"It is time for England’s colonies to attain freedom."
Reason: the other options read like supporting points (loss of imperial patriotism; England sacrificing subjects’ lives) or a counterclaim (allowing a colony to become independent is a mistake). If the passage presents those as problems with imperial rule, the author’s overall claim would be that the colonies should be free.
