When the Sugar Act was passed in 1764 Georgians appeared concerned not so much with the tax, but with the sale of lumber to a major customer. The Stamp Act of 1765 brought the first true rift between loyalist and colonist in Georgia. ... The arrival of the Speedwell in December, 1765, gave Georgia a choice.By reducing the rate by half and increasing measures to enforce the tax, the British hoped that the tax would actually be collected. These incidents increased the colonists' concerns about the intent of the British Parliament and helped the growing movement that became the American Revolution.

I think that your answer is the first one.

Explanation: The Sugar Act, put into place by the British government, was enacted on April 5, 1764. The purpose of the act was to tax the importation of molasses from the West Indies, similar to the previous act, but now it was actually going to be enforced by the british navy.
