The correct answer is B) It sent troops to surround Boston harbor.

What the Parliament did as a result of the colonist's petition to reject the stamp act and boycott British goods and services was to sent troops to surround Boston harbor.

the English Parliament wanted to raise revenues when it passed the Stamp Act on March 22, 1765, a tax for every form of print paper in the American colonist. Of course, this didn't like the colonists and rejected the Act and also called to boycott British products. The American colonies suffered from heavy taxation and they did not have any voice or representation in the British Parliament. Those many acts and taxes were the causes of the American Revolution.
