My Choice would be C.

Answer 2

C) Colonists boycotts of British goods were hurting British trade.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Stamp Act was a tax that was passed by the British government that required a British stamp on all paper documents showing that citizens paid the appropriate tax. Colonists hated this tax, as they felt that it was unfair of the British parliament to pass a tax on the colonists without a colonial representative in the parliament to represent their views.

This resulted in the colonists boycotting British goods to show their displeasure. Ultimately, the British government got rid of this law because it was losing them money.
