I put D

Answer 1

I believe you're right.

Answer 2

Which Writs of Assistance?

Answer 3

A writ of assistance is a court order to instruct a government official to do his job. In this case, it was to instruct colonial officials to collect the tax that the colonists objected to. So D is the correct answer, but a bad answer. The writ did not impose the tax, but demanded that it be collected.

Answer 4

That is, assuming you mean a writ in connection with the Stamp Act of 1765.
