Answer:

C-Great Britain imposed heavy taxes on the colonies

Step-by-step explanation:

Many events that sparked the beginning of the American Revolution were due to taxes, like the taxes on tea, which is why colonists dressed up like Native Americans and boarded a ship, throwing 342 crates of tea overboard. That is known as the Boston Tea Party, and in today's money, that would be like throwing 1.9 million dollars away.
