Answer 1

C. Britain demanded new taxes from American colonists.

Explanation:

After Britain fought the Seven Years' War, the country was stuck with a great amount of debt. Britain's solution to this problem was taxes. Specifically, taxes on tea (Tea Act), paper products such as newspapers and playing cards (Stamp Act), wine, sugar and coffee (Sugar Act), and textiles (also Sugar Act). After these taxes were imposed upon the American colonists, they began to revolt (Example: Boston Tea Party), which sparked the American Revolution.
