D.

Answer 1

The most accurate answer is:

A. The British raised taxes on the colonists to pay for war debt.

After the French and Indian War, Britain sought to pay off its war debt and cover the costs of maintaining troops in North America, leading to increased taxation on the colonies. This raised tensions as many colonists felt that they should not be taxed without representation in Parliament, fueling discontent and contributing to the eventual push toward independence.
