Answer 1

The correct answer is B. The British raised taxes on the colonists to pay for war debt.

After the French and Indian War, Britain faced significant debt and began to tax the colonies to help pay for the expenses incurred during the war. This led to widespread resentment and tension between the British government and the American colonists, as many colonists felt they should not be taxed without representation in Parliament. This situation ultimately contributed to the growing desire for independence among the colonies.
