The correct answer is The Intolerable Acts.

The Intolerable Acts, also called the Coercive Acts, were passed after American colonists destroyed millions of dollars worth of tea during the Boston Tea Party. These laws were meant to be used as punishment against the colonists. The British government passed these laws and did the following:

a) Shut down Boston harbor until the damages were repaid.

b) Town meetings were banned.

c) British troops would be tried in Britain rather than the colonies for any crimes they have committed.
