Why did colonial merchants object to the Tea Act?

It forced colonists to buy British tea instead of less expensive colonial tea.

It limited how much tea each colonist could purchase from the British East India Company.

It placed a tax on tea so that colonists had to pay higher prices for tea bought from colonial merchants.

It allowed the British East India Company to sell tea directly to colonists instead of to colonial merchants.
