Shays' Rebellion in 1787 was primarily in response to the following:

D. increase taxes

The rebellion was driven by economic distress among farmers, particularly due to high taxes and oppressive debt collection practices, which led to the seizure of farms. Options A and B (expansion of territories and the Northwest Ordinance) were not direct causes of the rebellion.
