Well, it would be very helpful to know what the quotation was, however, I can probably answer this without it.

Answer A is incorrect because the Stamp Act was passed to tax papers, such as newspapers, legal documents, licenses, and even playing cards.

Answer B is incorrect because the colonists hated being taxed, which was one of the reasons the Revolutionary War began.

Answer C is incorrect because the colonies were taxed to pay for war expenses, not to help the colonists.

Therefore, answer D would be the most correct. The constant taxation without any representation in parliament made many colonists angry with Britain and they turned to starting the Revolutionary War as a way to escape British rule.
