B. unarmed colonists

C. colonial minutemen

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. unarmed colonists.

The reason for this is because the Boston massacre was an event where A mob of colonials were rallying. One of the American colonists got into a brawl with a British soldier so he shot several unarmed colonist.

It couldn't have been other British soldiers because British soldiers didn't pointlessly shoot each other.

The event also didn't involve a conflict between the British and the colonial minutemen.

Also, revolutionary politicians wouldn't have been there because they usually laid back from conflict.
