The correct answer is B. The declaration of Independence was signed

Step-by-step explanation

The first event refers to the year 1774 when the British Parliament of the United States issued the "intolerable laws" in response to the various uprisings of the American settlers. The second event refers to the first continental congress held in September 1774, in which representatives of the 13 colonies (except Georgia) met in Philadelphia seeking to mediate with the British crown so that it did not interfere in all the affairs of the nation. The third event refers to the first confrontations of the war of independence in April 1775, during which the confrontation between the royalty and the American colonists became more aggressive and independence was the only way out for the colonists. The fourth event refers to the second continental congress of the American colonists that took place in May 1775 and in which they organized their military affairs to better manage the war of independence that had already begun. Finally, the last act was the declaration of independence and its was on July 4, 1776 when the colonists finally defeated the British militarily, achieving their independence. According to the above, the correct answer is B. The declaration of Independence was signed
