The passage of the Coercive (Intolerable) Acts in 1774.
Explanation: Those punitive British measures (closing Boston Harbor, revoking Massachusetts' charter, etc.) provoked colonial unity and resistance, leading to mobilization and ultimately the armed clashes at Lexington and Concord in 1775. The other choices were either colonial actions or events that occurred after open hostilities began.
