Answer:

D) Favored a British company over colonial merchants.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Tea Act granted the British East India Company Tea a monopoly on tea sales on American colonies. This was a legislative maneuver to make English tea marketable in America.

This angered the colonists and compelled a group of Sons of Liberty members to disguise and destroyed over 92,000 pounds of tea.

I hope this answer helps you.
