The correct answer is D) The Declaratory Acts.

The other option choices in this question are all laws that put a tax on a specific good or product. None of those options address the power of the British government to tax American colonists. The only one that does this is the Declaratory acts, which is supposed to reassure the British governments power over the American colonists.
