Answer:

The correct answer is D) Intolerable Acts

Step-by-step explanation:

The Intolerable Acts were a set of laws that were passed as a response to the Boston Tea Party.

They were passed by the British Parliament in order to curtail and punish those responsible for carrying out the defiant acts

In Britain, these were known as the Coercive Acts. It limited the power of Massachusetts as a colony and removed it's right for self-governance.

This had a completely opposite impact to what the leaders in London were expected. Resistance against British rule gradually grew after this resulting in the war of independence.
