Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is : C. To reduce the growing strength of the colonies.

Explanation: The English Parliament passed the navigation laws to increase the benefit of England from its colonies.

In the navigation records it was required that any colonial import or export would travel only in ships registered in England, the colonies could not import anything that was manufactured outside of England.

The navigation laws regulated the settlers more and their opportunities diminished.
