I’m pretty sure it is D) the Townshend Acts. this is because the stamp act was placed on stamps, and the sugar act was placed on taxing sugar.

Answer 2

D, The Townshend Acts

Step-by-step explanation:

The Townshend Acts were imposed by the British Parliament on imported goods to the colonies. These taxes lowered colonist profits and since it was done without colonial representation in parliament, these acts were a big part of the grievances of the colonists of the British abusing their power over the colonies.
