Answer:
The Boston Tea Party, the dumping of 342 chests of tea into Boston Harbor, was the colonists' opposition to which of the following?
Step-by-step explanation:
In the time leading up to the American Revolution, the tax on British tea was so expensive that many colonists instead drank tea that was smuggled illegally. When the British East India Company began to suffer financially, Britain passed the Tea Act in 1773, allowing the company to sell its tea in America without paying the high tax and making it cheaper than even the smuggled tea. Colonists were angered that the Tea Act showed such favoritism.
