Answer:

The correct answer is B. Lord Grenville was not a representative to the First Continental Congress.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lord George Grenville was a British politician of the Whig Party who was the Prime Minister of Great Britain between 1763 and 1765.

During his tenure he did not maintain good relations with King George III. His most important measures were the persecution and demand against the member of Parliament John Wilkes for defamation against the king, which made him the object of criticism of a good part of the people who saw him as a threat to the freedoms of citizens, tried to regain popularity by reducing taxes within England, increasing in turn the tax burden on the American colonies and thus supported the passage of the Stamp Act of 1765, which created a breeding ground prone to the rebellion of the colonies against Great Britain.
