Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\sf B. \ Boston \ Tea \ Party}[/tex]

Explanation:

The Intolerable Acts were implanted in 1774.

These acts:

  • shut down the Boston port, which destroyed the entire commerce/maritime based city
  • removed Massachusetts's autonomy and self-government (basically put Britain in control of the colony)
  • allowed British officers to be tried in Britain (colonists saw this as unfair and biased; the British wouldn't be found guilty in their own country)
  • permitted/expanded the quartering of soldiers (but not in private homes)

These were in the response to the 1773 Boston Tea Party. The colonists were upset about unfair taxation, so they dumped a bunch of tea into the Boston harbor. The British government realized the colonies (especially Massachusetts) were out of control, so they passed these acts to exert their power.
