Answer 1

The correct response regarding the Dutch government's reaction to the increasing conflict with Britain over New Netherland is: They refused to relinquish control of the colony to Britain.

In the 17th century, when tensions rose between the Dutch and the English regarding control of New Netherland, the Dutch government attempted to assert their claim and retain control of the territory, although they were eventually unable to maintain their hold, leading to the English taking control in 1664.
