Answer:

B. They settled west of the Appalachian Mountains anyway, believing the British couldn't afford to enforce the Proclamation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Proclamation angered the Colonists. They felt the Proclamation was a plot to keep them under the strict control of England and that the British only wanted them east of the mountains so they could keep an eye on them. So they rebelled against this law just like they did with the Mercantile laws.
