Answer:

c) The Intolerable Acts were passed to stop trading among the colonies until the tea from the Boston Tea Party was paid for.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1774, the Intolerable Acts, was a series of laws, that aimed to punish the american colonies for the Boston Tea Party, an event that destroyed 324 chests of tea belonging to the British East Indian Company, and it closed the trade with the colonies up untill the cost of those chests was covered by the people risponsable for the incident. After this they also granted greater power to the British officials on American soil, and appointed the British general for the North American Colonies governor of Massachusetts.
