Answer 2

Answer: C) It was a series of governmental groups to maintain communication throughout the colonies.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1764, Boston formed the first Committee of Correspondence with the other colonies in order to gain support for its opposition to the British prohibition of American paper money. New York followed in 1765 and used theirs to update the colonies on how they were resisting the Stamp Act.

Subsequent developments followed with the Committees that allowed the maintenance of communication throughout the colonies which brought about such unity that they were able to meet and coordinate actions starting with the First Continental Congress in 1774.
