The answer is C. Great Britain increased taxes on many items in the colonies.

You can tell this because of the high taxes on things like tea, the public's reaction being the Boston Tea Party. Also a main point of the American Revolution was "No Taxation Without Representation" since the colonies weren't represented in British parliament.
