C) He limited colonial trade to only trade certain goods with England or English colonies.

After Charles II was restored to the throne in 1660, he reinforced the Navigation Acts, which aimed to ensure that colonial trade benefited England. These laws required that certain goods produced in the colonies be shipped exclusively to England or English colonies, thereby limiting trade opportunities for the colonies with other nations.
