How did salutary neglect lead colonists to rebel against Great Britain?
A) It caused frustration when Great Britain began enforcing stricter taxation policies.
B) Great Britain’s Navigation Acts were favored over the Stamp Act.
C) It made it impossible to regulate trade between the colonies and the British East India Company.
D) Great Britain could not raise enough revenue to fight the French and Indian War.
I think the answer is D, but I am not really sure if any of these makes sense seeing how the "salutary neglect" was a policy that relaxed the previously strict laws and regulations?

I would say A because the colonist enjoyed having less restrictions but were angered when the British enforced stricter taxation.
