Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

England was losing money due to the colonies rising population and high demand for stuff like tea, in fact the India Tea Company went completely bankrupt. So in return England heavily taxed everything for the colonists, including official documents, playing cards, and small stuff like newspapers.
