Answer:

C. French and Indian War

Step-by-step explanation:

Up until the French and Indian war, England largely ignored its American colonies, so the colonists were left alone to govern themselves.

After the war the British incurred a huge debt as a result of the cost used to make it a success. This made the British adopt measures such as taxation to pay it off. They heavily taxed their colonists which led to a backlash and subsequent revolutionary war between the British and the colonists.
