D.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: The FCC formed to solve issues with Britain through protests and boycotts while the SCC wanted to break free from Britain by declaring independence.

Step-by-step explanation:

The delegates of the First Continental Congress wanted to solve issues with Britain related to the passing of the Intolerable Acts (British response to the Boston Tea Party protest). They organized economic boycotts and wrote a letter to King George III called "Petition to the King" asking him to remedy the unfair situation of the Acts (called grievances). However, the British did not listen to the colonists and so they had to form the Second Continental Congress. This time they declared independence from Britain and organized their military forces to fight against them in the Revolutionary War.
