The correct answer is Option D) Stole our natural resources


In the United States declaration of Independence the King of England was held responsible for a number of grievances.



He was accused of burning down towns and villages of the local colonists, destroying their lives and even blundering the seas (talking about the blockade by the British Navy).



However, the King was not specifically called out for 'stealing natural resources'


It should be understood that the initial problems only began due to taxes imposed on the local populations. Things turned out of hand when a small protest turned into a civil war with the French helping the colonists against the British.
