Answer: Colonists throwing British tea into Boston Harbor

Step-by-step explanation:

Civil disobedience must always be nonviolent in nature and should involve refusing to adhere to laws enacted by the Government.

The colonists threw the tea away in protest at the British but there was no violence involved so this was civil.
