The correct answer is b. it weakened ties between the colonies and Great Britain.

The Great Awakening was a religious revival movement in the colonies during the 18th century that emphasized personal faith and a sense of individual connection to spirituality. This movement encouraged people to think independently and question traditional authority, including that of the British crown and established churches. As a result, the Great Awakening contributed to a growing sense of identity and autonomy among the colonists, which eventually helped to foster revolutionary sentiments against British rule.
