Answer 1

The correct answer is:
"The French and Indian War created debts that the British tried to pay by taxing the colonists."

Explanation: The war greatly increased Britain's national debt, so Parliament imposed taxes (e.g., Sugar Act, Stamp Act) and tighter controls on the colonies to raise revenue and assert authority — measures that fueled colonial anger and helped spark the Revolution.
