The correct answer is
The colonies developed an ability for self-governing

Basically, the salutary neglect was a policy where the British parliament made laws but didn't enforce them in the colonies. This was meant to help keep the support of the colonists. They governed themselves and this is another reason why the intolerable acts were intolerable.
