Answer:

D. He miscalculated the way colonists would respond to the Stamp Act.

Step-by-step explanation:

The British government continued to search for new ways to tax the American colonies, further angering many colonists. Prime Minister Grenville proposed the Stamp Act of 1765​. This act required colonists to pay for an official ​stamp​, or seal, when they bought paper items.

The colonists HATED the Stamp Act.
