Answer 1

.Answer:

E. Both A and C are correct, is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Navigation acts were series of laws passed by British parliament in 1651. It imposed rules that only English ships could transport goods outside Europe and that the goods produced in Europe would be shipped by English ships or by the ship of originating country. These rules were meant to target Dutch shipping which controlled a large section of Europe's trade. After the restoration of king Charles Second in 1660 , the rules were modified to cover the exports as well. The Parliament also tried to control the colonial trade by imposing restraint the colonies from exporting their products and banning the foreign ships from the trade. These laws were unpopular among the colonialists and caused resentment and American revolution. The navigation acts lasted till 1849.
