Answer:

D.)It passed the Intolerable Acts.

Step-by-step explanation:

This act generated criticism of officials from both the colony and the British. For example, Benjamin Franklin stated that the cost of tea should be reimbursed and offered to pay it with his own money. From the metropolis repressive measures were carried out against the colonies: The English government closed the Boston port in 1774 in retaliation and declared the state of exception, establishing other laws known as Intolerable Acts, also called Coercive Acts or Punitive Acts.
