Answer:

d. to create political chaos

Explanation:

"Publick Occurrences, Both Foreign and Domestick" was published on September 25, 1690 in the city of Boston, edited by Benjamin Harris and printed by Richard Pierce.

It was the first newspaper in that territory under the control of the British crown, and the intention of the editor was to publish it on a monthly basis. Unfortunately, the one that was printed without any administrative permission being requested and that the colonial authorities were not very satisfied with its contents led them to prohibit its publication, and that first issue of Publick Occurrences was also the last.

The funny thing is that of its four pages the last one was presented without content, completely blank. The idea was that on that page readers could write their own comments or news before passing the newspaper to other people.
