The correct answer is D) the colonists disliked increasing British control.
The American colonists became more and more unhappy with British rule in the years leading up to the American Revolution. The statement that best explains this is "the colonists disliked increasing British control."
American colonists were tired of the influence of the British crown and the excessive taxation imposed by the English government. American had to obey in everything that England said but American people had no representation or voice in the British Parliament. That was not fair. Terrible acts such as the Stamp Act of 1765 or the Tea Act of 1763 angered Americans so much and were important causes to prompt the demanding of independence of Britain and the beginning of the Revolutionary War.
