Answer:

B) English merchants hoped to control colonial trade, namely in Boston, which angered colonists.

Step-by-step explanation:

The British aimed to control the colonial trade and to do so they passed the Boston Port Act, which demanded the closure of the Port of Boston and demanded that the city residents had to pay 1 million dollars of tea that were dumped into the Boston Harbor during the Boston Tea Party.
