Answer 1

D) The British increased colonial taxes in order to pay for the victory over France.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best explanation for the prompt is that the British increased colonial taxes in order to pay for the victory over France. Not only did Parliament create new taxes but existing ones that were rarely enforced began to be collected consistently. This led to great and vocal dissatisfaction in the American colonies.

Answer 2

D) The British increased colonial taxes in order to pay for the victory over France.

The British were low on money by the time they finished fighting France, and they couldn't get a lot of money from the French either, because they were low on money too, and so the British decided to increase tax for the colonists, since they weren't paying as much in tax as the people living in mainland Britain
