C
selling plots of land in North America to the French.

D

Answer 1

Correct answer is A . taxing American colonists.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A is the correct answer as the British government imposed many new taxes and acts, which enraged the colonists, as they believed that the government should have reward them for what they have done in the war and not to punish them by imposing new high taxes.

B is not correct as Britain was already in debt, so new debts were not acceptable.

C is not correct as they haven't sold any land at the time.

D is not correct as this was not a part of the solution.
