C.
After the 1763 Treaty of Paris Britain gained French territory, then issued the Proclamation of 1763 forbidding colonial settlement west of the Appalachians. Colonists were angry because they wanted access to that land (for farms, speculation, and rewards to veterans) and saw the restriction and the continued British military presence and taxes to enforce it as infringements on their rights—factors that helped fuel the desire for independence.
