The answer that BEST explains why the statement "British victory against France in the Seven Years' War helped to cause the American Revolution" is true is:

D The British increased colonial taxes in order to pay for the victory over France.

After the Seven Years' War, Britain faced a significant debt and sought to recoup some of that money by taxing the American colonies. This included imposing taxes such as the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts, which fueled resentment and anger among the colonists and contributed to revolutionary sentiments.
