Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

They placed the Stamp Act to help replenish their finances after the costly Seven Years' War with France. Part of the revenue from the Stamp Act would be used to maintain several regiments of British soldiers in North America to maintain peace between Native Americans and the colonists. They taxed the colonial super heavy and taxed goods, which led to the colonist boycotting and starting riots.

Sorry that I gave you the wrong answer at first, didn't double check and it's 2am for me, hope you understand and you didn't get the answer wrong! :)
