Answer 2

A (?)

Step-by-step explanation:

"The colonial economy depended on international trade. American ships carried products such as lumber, tobacco, rice, and dried fish to Britain. In turn, the mother country sent textiles, and manufactured goods back to America."

"In this system, the British colonies were moneymakers for the mother country. The British put restrictions on how their colonies spent their money so that they could control their economies."

"British law stipulated that the American colonies could only trade with the mother country."

So trade did benefit the relationship with these colonies-- but purposefully not outside colonies to benefit their (the British) control over their economies. (I hope this is clear, if it's not I can change it!
