The correct answer is A) "boycotting British-made goods."
A patriot in North America in the 1770s would have most likely supported boycotting British-made goods.
During the colonial American years of the 1770s, Patriots were angered and desperate for the many heavy taxations that the British government had imposed in the colonies. There were many Acts that the English monarchy had authorized to keep control and get money from his colonies in America: the Navigation Acts, the Stamp Act or in this case, the Townshend Acts of 1767, that imposed taxes to all products imported to the colonies. The King of England sent troops to America to enforce the laws. That is why many Patriots started to really considered a war against England to gain independence. The worst part was that Americans had no voice or representation in the British Parliament.
