Option A, keep a favorable trade arrangement with the colonies for England’s benefit by implementing trading restrictions, is the right answer.

The British parliament passed a series of laws in the year 1651, 1660, and 1663 respectively. The main objective of the navigation acts was to promote British transportation and permit Great Britain to hold the pool of British colonial commerce for the interest of British merchants. The 1660 Navigation Act assured that the import and export of goods from British dominions were bound to British boats which were under the control of British sailors
