Answer 2

The correct answer is The king felt the colonies were growing too independent from England

The colonies were growing independent for various reasons. Trading companies that controlled some of the colonies grew too rich and started trading with British competitors, the governor counted on salutary neglect, and various other things were also problematic for the king. He also disliked that the people were rioting and didn't want to pay taxes.
